#ProPlantTips For Care
Fruit trees require full sun for the most vigorous growth and best harvest. For best results, provide at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, favoring the drying power of the morning sun. Needing as low as 400 hours of chill, these dark-red skinned fruits are hardy in USDA growing zones 6 through 9.
Provide ample water for your young tree while it becomes established, not allowing it to dry out between waterings. Then reduce your watering to moderate, yet consistent moisture during the heat of summer and when fruiting. It’s best to protect your investment by providing supplemental watering in times of need.
Situate in an area that is protected from frost pockets and with good air circulation. Prune to keep an open canopy so that both sunlight and airflow reach the interior. Head over to read more on Plumcot Tree Care in our Garden Blog for more Fruit Tree Planting, Fruit Tree Pruning and Plum Tree Care tips and tricks can be found!
Plant your tree in rich, organically enhanced, well-drained soil, adding compost and manure to further enrich the soil. A thick layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
A delectable blend of two fruit worlds, the Geopride Plumcot Tree will be the pride of your landscape! Order yours from NatureHills.com today before they’re gone!
