Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to full shade – any sunlight, from about 3 hours to 7 hours’ worth per day, will suffice.

When you’re ready to plant your Chinese Hackberry, dig a hole that’s approximately two times the size of your plant’s root ball, place in the hole, back fill the soil and water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Your Chinese Hackberry is drought tolerant once established; however, it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water your Hackberry about once weekly or check the surrounding soil…if the surrounding soil is dry about 2 or 3 inches down, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a well-balanced fertilizer to your Chinese Hackberry in early spring, before new growth begins.

4. Pruning: Prune your Chinese Hackberry in the spring – this helps maintain a neat, tidy shape.
