First-Year Care for Newly Planted Fall Trees

Mulch and Patience: No Root Stimulant Needed After Planting

Root stimulants only work at planting time. For fall-planted weeping willow, dwarf apples, and weeping crab in Iowa: mulch well to conserve moisture. Do not fertilize until next winter (13-13-13). Let roots establish naturally this season.
