Planting Instructions
Plant your Emerald Gaiety Standard in spring or fall. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.
