Description

This evergreen to semi-evergreen tree is both upright and narrow when young, but assumes a spreading form when older. Since it is shallow rooted, deep waterings are essential for deeper rootings. When the tree is young, any long, unsightly branches should be cut back.

Water Saving Tip:

In the fall, unless it is very hot outside, you can reduce your total watering time by 1/2.

Do not reduce run times, reduce the number of watering days.
