Drake Chinese Elm Tree

1. Planting Instructions: Choose a location with enough space to accommodate the size of your Drake Chinese Elm. Furthermore, your Drake should be planted in a sunny spot (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) with well-drained soil.

After you’ve selected a suitable location, dig a hole that’s at least two to three times wider than your tree’s root ball. Once you’ve placed your Drake Elm, back fill its soil, tamp down to avoid air pockets and lastly, water to help establish its roots.

Following planting, simply water and monitor – that’s it. No fertilizer or pruning needed.

2. Watering: The Drake Elm is super easy to grow, but an adequate watering schedule is important. Water your tree regularly during the growing season (approximately one thorough watering each week is fine).

But if you’re not sure when to water your Drake, simply check its surrounding soil, down to around 2 or 3 inches. If the soil in this area is dry, it’s time to water.
