<li><strong>Dig a hole:</strong> Make it twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.</li>
<li><strong>Plant the tree:</strong> Place the tree in the hole, spreading out the roots. The graft union should be above soil level.</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>Watering:</strong> Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.</li>
<li><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in summer.</li>
