Planting & Care

Planting:?Plant in an area of full to partial sun. Hardy to most soil conditions, this tree is also noticeable for being drought tolerant and can survive in even urban environments. Note that a significant amount of red helicopter seeds will fall in late summer, so plant in an area where there is ample room for that to not cause any issues.

Watering:?Water generously upon first planting and monitor for hydration needs upon first year to two years of growth. Thereafter, leave it to grow largely on its own.

Pruning:?Pruning is recommended and should be done in later winter or early spring to maximize blooms. Cut along the sides to improve sunlight access to select parts of the tree and to maintain desired shape.

Consider protecting the trunk of the tree in winter if it has potential to be exposed to more damaging weather elements.
