#ProPlantTips for Care:
Just be sure you provide your Persian Spire™ Ironwood with full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. Give new trees a regular schedule of moisture, using the finger-test method to ensure you are giving it all it needs to succeed. All trees appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over their entire root system for insulation and moisture retention. Prune this tree after it flowers to keep it petite or let it grow tall.
