When transplanted to a new place, 1-2-year-old plants are easiest to take root.
For planting a seedling, make a hole with a diameter of 80 * 80cm and a depth of about 1m. The distance between them is at least 3m.
The seedlings purchased in the fall do not have to be planted immediately. They can be dug in for the winter and planted when spring comes.

- abundant watering for young seedlings (reduce as they grow up to once a month);
- regular loosening of the soil;
- pruning of young seedlings when planting to a meter height, in subsequent years - by 1/3 of the length of the shoots until the tree is fully formed;
