For the 1st year, establish a regular watering routine for a strong root system. Mulch your tree base to hold in moisture. Fertilize before new growth and prune to shape.

Water the tree at regular intervals to allow for good root development. Also, keep in mind that preventive measures are cheaper, and far less of a headache in the long run than curative treatments. treat the tree at first sign of flowering with Sevin, and follow up 7-10 days later.
