How to Use Dwarf Strawberry Tree in the Landscape
The upright branches have an energetic visual appeal. Welcome guests with a pair flanking either side of your front door.
Create a lavish hedge along your property line. You'll bump up the privacy on your property with ease.
Your neighbors will surely appreciate this "friendly fence", as well.
For a solid screen, plant them four feet apart on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next. Keep those low branches on the plant.
Anchor a large planting bed behind your patio furniture. Prune it up as a fantastic specimen tree, if desired.
Site your Dwarf Strawberry Tree to take advantage of their angles. Spent a bit of time before planting, turning the plant this way and that to make sure you capture its "best side".
Plant an informal group of them on a berm, or in an island bed in the lawn. Vary the spacing for a natural look. Enjoy your unmistakably beautiful garden accent!
Allow the artfully curved and twisted branches to become a sculptural accent tree at the start of a garden path. Strategically remove a low branch or two to custom-fit your tree around a cozy set of garden benches.
#ProPlantTips for Care
Grow Dwarf Strawberry Tree in either full sun, or light shade. They'll need at least four hours of direct sunlight for best performance.
Water your plant well prior to planting, and soak it well afterwards.
During their first season, give them a careful schedule of water. Use the "Finger Test" to determine if they need supplemental water.
Poke your finger in the ground near the root system. If it's getting dry, soak them. If it is still moist, skip the watering and check the next day.
Once they are established in your native soil, they'll become blissfully water-wise. In very extended dry periods, you might choose to apply water periodically.
Well-drained soil is a must. If you have soil that retains water a long time, add additional soil in a mound 18 inches high by three feet wide. Plant in that mound.
Prune to shape in late winter. We encourage you to develop a pruning plan by studying your tree during the year. Decide which limbs you'll keep first, then remove the rest.
You can also time your pruning to coincide with the Holidays. Use a few bedecked, fruited and flowering boughs in your centerpieces.
Enjoy these plants as spectacular large shrubs or small trees. You'll be absolutely thrilled with the high-quality of our commercial-grade plants.
