Planting guide

Be sure to give your 'Yoshino' tree the best start by preparing an appropriate spot.

How to plant Cryptomeria Yoshino trees? 

Start by digging a hole that's twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the tree so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, then backfill and compact the soil gently around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting to ensure the roots have a good start.

When to plant Cryptomeria Yoshino trees? 

The ideal time to plant these trees is in the early spring or fall when temperatures are moderate. Planting during these seasons helps the tree establish its root system without the stress of extreme weather. Aim for a cloudy day to prevent the young tree from experiencing excessive heat or sun stress.

How far apart should you plant Cryptomeria Yoshino trees? 

To create a lush privacy screen, space the trees about 8 to 10 feet apart. This distance gives each tree ample room to grow while still allowing their branches to form a dense, overlapping canopy. For standalone trees, more space is recommended to allow full canopy spread.
