Planting & Care 1. Planting: First, find an area with full sun and well-drained soil. Any area that receives about 6 to 8 hours of sunlight should suffice. Once you’ve selected a location, dig a hole that’s around twice the size of your tree’s root ball. Then, place the tree, tamp down the soil and water to settle the roots.2. Watering: The Korean Lilac Tree is fairly drought tolerant once established, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule before then. We recommend watering about once weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the soil about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water.3. Fertilizing: Only fertilize your Korean after it starts blooming, preferably with a well-balanced fertilizer once or twice yearly.4. Pruning: Lightly prune your Korean after it starts blooming for sizing and shaping purposes. To encourage a stronger root system, you may pick off the faded blooms – this allows your tree to focus on establishing its roots.
