Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems.

If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
