Planting & Care

1. Planting:When its time to plant your Prairie Sentinel Hackberry, choose an area with at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day and well-drained soil. Because of its height, make sure you choose an area away from power lines.

Dig a hole thats at least two to three times wider than your Hackberrys root ball. After placing your tree in the hole, backfill its soil, tamp down to avoid air pockets, and lastly, water to help establish its roots.

2. Watering: Your Prairie Sentinel Hackberry needs regular watering during the first few growing seasons for establishment. Typically, you should water your tree thoroughly about once a week. If youre not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil down to around 2 or 3 inches. If the soil is dry, its time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a well-balanced fertilizer to your Hackberry in early spring.

4. Pruning: Excessive pruning is not needed, but we recommend removing dead or damaged branches. Any pruning should also be completed during the winter season or during dormancy.
