Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant your shrub in either full sun or partial sun (around 4 to 5 hours of sunlight per day is ideal). This shrub is very resistant to heat, drought, pollution and poor soil conditions, so just ensure you plant in well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDig a hole large enough to accommodate your shrub's root ball, place your tree, backfill the soil and water the surrounding soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your tree's shipped container, use organic soil, and choose a sunny spot for your shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because of its drought resistance, you only need to water your shrub when you get less than one inch of rain in a week. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 inches down for dryness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed your tree every spring with a general-purpose fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can prune to control the size of your tree. Cutting 2 to 3 buds on each branch will allow the tree to produce larger blooms the next season. Since this tree is such a late bloomer, only prune in late fall and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Fast Growing Trees","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":35584804094101,"sku":"ALT-MIN1","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":35584804126869,"sku":"ALT-MIN2","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":35584804159637,"sku":"ALT-MIN-12_2","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":35584804192405,"sku":"ALT-MIN3","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":35584804225173,"sku":"ALT-MIN-23_5","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/4628\/3925\/products\/Minerva_Rose_of_Sharon_600x600_52d2273b-3935-4751-bb8d-3efc1c0374de.jpg?v=1596740602","url":"https:\/\/eightvape2b-com.myshopify.com\/products\/minerva-rose-sharon-shrub","provider":"eightvape2b.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
