How To Plant Dwarf Burning Bush
Dwarf Burning Bush love to bask in the sun and catch those rays—for at least 6 hours. For more vibrant colors, planting in full sun is recommended, too much shade can transform those leaves to a faded, pinkish hue in the fall. Burning Bushes are highly adaptable to a wide variety of soil types and can thrive in anything from sand to clay. It is preferred that soil is slightly moist and well-drained.
How To Water
For the first few months after planting your Burning Bush, water quite often. Then, you can reduce it to about the equivalent of one inch of rainfall per week. Once a Burning Bush is established they can be considered drought-tolerant.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant Food granular form on an annual basis each fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.

Burning bushes can be known for overgrowing their space, so complete rejuvenation of your Burning Bush is recommended. Severely cutting back the plant promotes the longevity and allows new growth to have more space. Pruning your Burning Bush should be completed early spring or late winter.

How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
