Caring for your Century Tree
Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us. When seedlings are shipped or picked up by customers, they’re all in excellent health. Once your seedling leaves our care, we can’t guarantee its health or quality over an extended period of time.
NOTE: We recommend that you plant your Century Tree seedling in the ground within the first five or six months of purchase. We no longer recommend growing trees in their containers for extended periods of time — beyond a year or more — as too many variables can go wrong and impact the health of your seedling.
Remove the bubble wrap from the container when you get home.
Water your tree once a week, letting the water drain away from the container / not stand next to the container. Water it TWICE a week once the weather starts getting warmer, going into summer.
Protect your tree from pets, wildlife, or other animals that could damage it.
