We recommend that your Royal Empress Trees be removed from its packaging immediately upon arrival. If possible, your tree should be planted without delay. If temperatures exceeding 95 degrees or a severe drought do not permit this, you should pot your tree and set in a shaded area. The best time to plant your Paulownia is at least six weeks before your first frost. Though, a tree can be planted at any time of year with proper attention and care.
When you have selected and prepared a planting location for your empress tree, dig a hole that will provide plenty of room for your trees root system. This hole should be roughly twice the height and width of the roots. Spread the roots out and surround with soil to prevent air pockets. Fill the hole with dirt or soil, ensuring that the roots are completely covered, as soil will condense a bit after watering. Pack soil firmly.
Water your tree properly, in accordance with your location and weather conditions.
Do not allow weeds and/or grass to grow within three feet of your Paulownia. These should be pulled, and your tree should then be mulched.
GOD BLESS
