How to Plant and Care for Purple Flowering Trees
Always read the care tag on any sapling you purchase and follow the directions that the growers have outlined. In general, it’s not hard to plant and care for purple flowering trees.
Unpot your sapling and tease out any encircling roots so they do not girdle the tree and eventually kill it. Dig a hole that’s a little deeper than the root ball and twice as wide. Dig a shovel-full of well-rotted compost or manure into the soil at the bottom of the hole and place your tree on top, so it is roughly the same level as it was in the pot.
Fill in around the tree with topsoil that’s had some compost mixed in. Tamp down gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly when you’re done, and mulch with organic material such as bark chips.
For the first few weeks, until you see new growth start to appear, water your sapling every day or so. After that, you can scale back. Most trees like about an inch of water a week and if you aren’t getting that from rain, consider supplemental watering.
Fertilize your tree with a balanced, slow-release product designed for landscape trees in early spring. Follow package directions for subsequent applications, tapering off in July so the plant can prepare for slow growth in winter.
When your tree is young, you can prune it for shape. Also, cut out any broken or diseased limbs, as well as any that are rubbing against each other. Once the tree has reached its mature size, there should be less need for pruning.
