Care Instructions

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil for best color and growth. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Pruning is rarely needed, although light shaping may be done if desired. Some natural interior needle shedding during winter is normal for evergreen conifers.
