Ficus Nitida Column

  1. Light - Bright light to bright shade.

  2. Water - Quite regularly in the growing season. These trees prefer to be deep soaked all around the root ball. You want to soak the tree to a depth of at least 2-3' each time you water.

  3. Soil - This will encourage deep strong root growth. Allow these trees to dry out between waterings as, like any tree, they do not like to be sitting in water.

Wax Leaf Privet

  1. Light - Plant in a reliably sunny spot. Prune when dormant, in late autumn or late winter.

  2. Water - Water regularly until established.

  3. Soil - Adapts to most soil types.

Podocarpus

  1. Light - Grow well in full sun or full shade.

  2. Water - Regular watering as the tree gets established.

  3. Soil - Thrive in the most adverse conditions, tolerating a wide range of different soils.

Carolina Cherry

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Be sure not to over water and that there is no standing water. Once established, Carolina Cherry needs occasional watering.

  3. Soil - Well-drained, fertile soil.

Japanese Boxwood

  1. Light - Right combination of sun, shade and wind protection.

  2. Water - Water deeply, as frequent, shallow irrigation will not reach the root zone. Until established, after about two years, boxwoods will need at least weekly watering.

  3. Soil - Be sure to plant your boxwood in soil that drains well.

Japanese Blueberry

  1. Light - Full sun or partial shade.

  2. Water - Avoid over-watering and provide a consistent watering cycle and good soil drainage until it is fully grown.

  3. Soil - Deep soak around the root ball.

Italian Cypress

  1. Light - Bright sun.

  2. Water - During its first growing season, water regularly to help establish a healthy and robust root system.

  3. Soil - Water the soil deeply. Regular watering for the first growing season, then reduce to once or twice a month. Italian cypress is fairly drought tolerant once established.

Little Tower Cypress

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Give the tree a good soaking every week for the first few months. Once established, needs only occasional watering.

  3. Soil - Dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water.

Icee Blue Podocarpus

PALM TREE

CALL TO ORDER

King Palm

  1. Light - Bright light.

  2. Water - Water your king palm at least once a week during the summer months, to keep the soil moist. Water less during cool or rainy weather.

  3. Soil - Fertilize king palm twice a year with a slow release fertilizer. Use a fertilizer labeled 15-5-15 or 12-4-2, as palms prefer a fertilizer ratio of 3 parts nitrogen, 1 part phosphate and 3 parts potassium.

Pineapple Palm

  1. Light - Bright, full sun.

  2. Water - A new palm should be watered everyday on its first week. Then, switch to every other day the following and then settle for 3 times a week on the third. Then, water as normal for established palm. For more established palms, watering should be done only 2-3 times a week.

  3. Soil - Ensure that the top 24 inches of soil are moist after watering the first time, and after that, the plant only needs 2 inches of moist soil on an ongoing basis.

Mediterranean Fan Palm

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Water the new Mediterranean fan palm deeply every other day, but don’t water it if it rains. The ground must drain of water completely between watering. Water the base only, not the leaves, and extend the watering zone about 10 inches past the root ball.

  3. Soil - Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Fertilize with a slow-release palm fertilizer in spring, summer and fall.

Queen Palm

  1. Light - Bright light.

  2. Water - Water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.

  3. Soil - Ample moisture in the soil, so don't let it fend for itself during dry periods. Apply fertilizer regularly.

Date Palm

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - The tree is tolerant of drought but needs plenty of water when flowering and fruiting. Deep, even moisture is best for this plant. If well-established, date palm will tolerate drought.

  3. Soil - Plant the trees in spring or fall for best results. Slow-growing date palm grows best in rich, well-drained soil.

Pygmy Date Palm

  1. Light - Bright light.

  2. Water - Do best when kept slightly on the dry side. These plants are typically from arid regions and are very sensitive to being over-watered.

  3. Soil - Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

3 in 1 Apple

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Regular watering each week. You may need to water more often in times of extreme heat or drought. However, if you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry in this area, it's time to water.

  3. Soil - Apples prefer well-drained, sandy loam soil. They will grow in many soil types. Apples prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.8).

Golden Dorsett Apple

  1. Light - Full sun.

  3. Soil - Apples prefer well-drained, sandy loam soil. They will grow in many soil types. Apples prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.8).

Strawberry

  1. Light - Full or Partial Sun.

  2. Water - Needs regular irrigation. The tree is reasonably drought tolerant after establishment, and you don't have to worry about its root breaking up sewers or cement.

  3. Soil - Be sure you find a site with well-draining soil. Either sand or loam works well. It grows in either acidic or alkaline soil.

Washington Naval Orange

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Water the tree when the top 2 to 4 inches of soil becomes dry. Water directly into the ground in a ring twice as wide as the tree's canopy. Keep the water 6 inches from the trunk to avoid causing rot.

  3. Soil - Do not allow soil to become soggy. Requires fast-draining, sandy soils.

Meyer Lemon

  1. Light - Bright sun.

  2. Water - Water it deeply until the water comes out through the drainage holes. To avoid flooding the tree, wait for the top few inches of the soil to dry out before watering again. With this fruit tree, it's much better to underwater than overwater it.

  3. Soil - Can grow in almost any type of soil with good drainage. They prefer a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5 and thrive in loamy or sandy soils.

Dancy Mandarin

Tango Mandarin Orange

Fruitless Olive Tree

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Once established, most fruitless olive tree varieties are drought tolerant. However, theses trees need regular water until a good root system has developed. If water does not drain quickly, root rot is a potential problem. Add drip irrigation if convenient because the root system will need almost daily watering for some time.

  3. Soil - It also requires well-draining soil. It can be susceptible to root rot if the soil remains damp for prolonged periods.

Live Oak Tree

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Young and mature oak trees need little watering, only once a month. You don’t need to water a live oak tree in the cooler months, as the winter rain will do that for you.

Sycamore

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Sycamore trees have a high susceptibility to drought. Also, these trees can fall victim to insect pests when not watered regularly. In hot weather, water at the roots twice a week. Watch for signs the soil is drying out and water more often as needed.

  3. Soil - These trees grow in almost any soil, but they prefer deep, rich soil that is moist but well-drained.

  3. Soil - Average, moderately moist soil.

Camphor Tree

  1. Light - Full sun or partial sun.

  2. Water - Water a camphor tree during a drought with 1 inch of water once every two or three weeks. During the first year after planting, water it every week to help it become well established. Otherwise, a camphor needs little water to thrive since it is extremely drought tolerant.

Southern Magnolia

  1. Light - Full sun or partial shade.

  2. Water - Magnolia prefers between 40 and 80 inches of water every year.

  3. Soil - Mulch will conserve soil moisture and speed penetration of water into the root zone. Irrigation water must be low in salt and boron or marginal leaf scorching will occur.

Flowering Pear

  1. Light - Full sun.

  2. Water - Irrigate with enough water to moisten the soil to the tree root ball depth. Established Asian pears should be watered when the soil is dry 2-3 inches down.
