Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepare your hole by digging it three times as wide as the root ball and just as deeply. Gently comb the root ball freeing up any compacted roots and place the tree. Backfill the hole partially, pressing down gently as you go along and water to settle the soil. Once the hole has been completely filled, add a layer of organic mulch around the tree to help conserve water. Do not let the mulch touch the trunk of the tree as this can promote rot and fungus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater your tree generously weekly, twice a week for the first growing season, to help promote the growth. Deep waterings encourage the roots to extend more deeply into the soil which in turn makes the tree more drought resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eThere are a couple of steps for proper fertilizing of your plum tree to ensure a healthy growing season. Young trees that are three years or younger will benefit from about a half cup of balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer formula applied once in around mid-April and again in early June. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast Growing Trees","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":35554142191778,"sku":"PLU-MET-12_2QT","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":35554142224546,"sku":"PLU-MET-23_2QT","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":35554142257314,"sku":"PLU-MET-34_3","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":35554142290082,"sku":"PLU-MET-67_3","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/3007\/1714\/products\/Methley-Plum-Tree-350w_f1491d03-34c0-47db-9caa-da2e3b292cac.jpg?v=1596740209","url":"https:\/\/fast-growing-trees2s-com.myshopify.com\/products\/methley-plum-tree-ca","provider":"fast-growing-trees2s.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
