Planting & Care

Plant bare root trees as soon as possible after arrival. Soak roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread roots and deep enough to keep the root crown at or slightly above soil level. Backfill with native soil, tamp gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, American Mountain Ash is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain shape. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and provide supplemental water during dry spells.
