Yearly Care Instructions- Water regularly, especially during the first year until established. Mulch around the base. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from watering during dry periods. Minimal pruning is required to maintain shape.
Trimming Instructions- Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant if needed. Avoid heavy pruning, as arborvitaes do not regenerate well from old wood.
Fertilization Instructions- Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nitrogen can lead to weak, leggy growth.
Fertilizer Recommendation- Holly-Tone
Possible Issues- Bagworms, spider mites, root rot in poorly drained soil
