  7. HOW TO PLANT? RIGHT TIME It's best to plant in the early spring or fall when the weather is mild. Avoid planting during hot summer months or freezing winter conditions. Picea orientalis SUITABLE LOCATION Picea orientalis prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Choose a location with enough space to accommodate the mature size of the tree, as they can grow quite large. SOIL Ensure the soil is loose, fertile, and well-draining. Remove any weeds or grass from the planting area and loosen the soil with a garden fork or tiller. You can also amend the soil with organic matter like compost to improve its quality.

  8. HOW TO PLANT? PLANTING HOLE Dig a hole that is slightly wider and at the same depth as the root ball or container of the Picea orientalis tree. The hole should be large enough to accommodate the roots without bending or crowding them. PLACE THE TREE IN THE HOLE Gently remove the tree from its container or loosen the root ball if it's wrapped in burlap. Place the tree in the center of the hole, making sure that the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the surrounding soil.

  9. HOW TO PLANT? BACKFILL THE HOLE Fill the hole with the soil you removed while digging, firming it gently around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Avoid compacting the soil too tightly, as this can hinder root growth. WATER THE TREE Give the newly planted Picea orientalis a thorough watering to settle the soil and ensure proper hydration. Provide enough water to moisten the entire root zone. Afterward, water the tree regularly, especially during dry periods, to help establish strong roots.

  10. HOW TO PLANT? MULCH THE AREA Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or bark, around the base of the tree. This will help conserve moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot. PROVIDE ONGOING CARE Picea orientalis generally requires minimal care once established. However, regular watering, especially during the first year, is important. Prune any dead or damaged branches as needed and monitor for pests or diseases.
