Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots spread out, place the tree at the same depth it was growing in the nursery, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, the Japanese Lilac Tree is relatively drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Fertilize in early spring if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Japanese Lilac Tree bare root, 12-14 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776201425206,"sku":"FOLIA-388","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6599547942_tsq4.jpg?v=1792468320","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/japanese-lilac-tree-12-14-bare-root-syringa-reticulata-zones-3-7","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
