Plant Care
Fire Chief Globe Cedar is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release evergreen fertilizer. While pruning isnt necessary to maintain its shape, light trimming can be done in late spring to early summer if desired.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as 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 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
