The Winter King Hawthorn Tree thrives in full sun. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
Allow for ample space as the tree can reach a mature height of 20-30 feet and a width of 15-20 feet. If planting multiple trees, maintain a spacing of 25-30 feet apart to allow for proper growth and development.
Dig a hole that is twice the width and depth of the root ball. This will provide ample space for the roots to expand and grow.
Carefully place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root flare is level with the soil surface. Fill in the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water the newly planted tree deeply to establish good root contact and provide essential moisture. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods, to support healthy growth.
Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid piling the mulch directly against the trunk to prevent rot. Water the tree deeply once a week during dry periods, especially in the first year. Monitor for pests and diseases, and take appropriate action if necessary.

Reduce watering frequency to once a week or as needed, especially if rainfall is sufficient. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Water the tree deeply in the morning to allow excess moisture to evaporate during the day. Avoid overhead watering, as wet leaves can promote fungal diseases. Consider using mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Continue to fertilize the tree annually in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Adjust the amount of fertilizer based on the tree’s size and growth rate.
