#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant in full sun or partial shade, where it will receive at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. Good air circulation is appreciated.

Give them well-drained soil, as their roots love to be damp, but won't tolerate standing water. Elevate the planting in a raised bed, if needed.

Nature Hills Root Booster helps the tiny feeder roots access water and micro-nutrients over the life of the plant. This time-tested formula delivers enormous benefits to your plant, and it never "wears out".

Apply a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Keep the roots cool with a three-inch layer of mulch, then pull it back away from the trunk.

Evergreens stay vibrant rich green year-round, but they do have a normal renewal cycle and you may see some foliage drop in fall. Protect their evergreen needles with a good long drink of water in fall before the winter winds come on.

Slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring. Follow directions for application rates on the label.
