We would advise grouping them into smaller clusters for the most natural look. If you use 7, for instance, try a group of 3 in a loose triangle. Then, give breathing room between another group of 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tree has such a sculptural look with its twisting and turning branches.

If puddles remain on your soil after a rain or watering, consider elevating the planting area. Add 18 - 24 inches of soil above the native soil line and plant your tree directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease don't plant your tree too low in the soil. For container plants, plant at the same level as the nursery soil line. For bareroot trees, look for the color change (soil line) and plant at that depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results in warm, dry climates, give protection from the hot afternoon sun. Provide a 3-inch deep layer of mulch. You'll start about 2 inches away from the trunk and apply mulch thickly all around the tree to a distance of 3 feet outside the canopy. This will keep the root system nice and cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it regular summer watering. This is especially important in hardiness Zones 9 - 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the fall, you'll appreciate how quickly the leaves drop once the plant goes dormant.

Train it to grow as tall as you'd like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do recommend that you keep it staked until the trunk is at least 4 to 5 feet tall.

This will help maintain good airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also need to decide how long you want to let the branches grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people allow the cascading limbs to grow to the ground, where they spread out as ground cover around the base of the tree.
