Fertilizing
Young plants need extra phosphorus to encourage good root development. Look for a fertilizer that has phosphorus, P, in it (the second number on the bag.) Apply recommended amount for plant per label directions in the soil at time of planting or at least during the first growing season.

Watering Conditions : Moist and Well Drained
Soil should be moist without being soggy so the texture of the soil should allow excess moisture to drain away.  Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture.
