Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
Prefers rich, loose and very well drained soils. Good for pruning. Water lightly without excess so as not to rot the roots. Resistant to diseases. Attracts bees and birds.
