Planting
Prior to planting, prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of at least 12 inches. Remove any unwanted vegetation, stones, or debris. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost, into the soil to enhance fertility and drainage. Carefully extract the Purpleleaf Sand Cherry from its container and loosen any tightly packed roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it is at the same depth as it was in the container. Replace the soil, gently compacting it around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Thoroughly water the newly planted tree to settle the soil and maintain consistent moisture levels, avoiding overwatering during the initial growth period.
