Why Plant Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form?
Ready...set...BLOOM! The Quick Fire® Hydrangea is one of the first hydrangeas to bloom in early summer, about one month before other varieties! By fall, the panicle flowers - which began as a pure white - begin to turn pink before transitioning to a stunning dark pink. These lace cap looking flowers are a fan favorite for pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other insects. Not only does this fella bloom first, but it also has the longest blooming season out of any other hydrangeas, giving those beneficial insects time to work their magic! Oh, AND adds more time for you to enjoy the show as well!
How to use Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form in the landscape?
Create a colorful flowering hedge by planting a row of Quick Fires® or use them as a solid screen, considering they can grow to 8' tall and wide, these beauties will provide you with much desired screening! These plants are fun to play around with when creating mass plantings as all shapes and designs are possible. You could also plant them in containers to decorate the length of your patio or pool deck, or plant two on either side of your entryway for a stunning entry show!

How To Plant Quick Fire® Hydrangea Tree Form
Quick Fire® Hydrangeas prefer to be planted in full sun locations with well-draining soil.
How To Water
The Quick Fire® Hydrangea will require a moderate amount of water on a regular basis, especially during spring growth. Provide ample water during periods of drought to keep them feeling happy and healthy!
How To Prune
As the Quick Fire® blooms on new wood, avoid late spring pruning at all costs. You'll only need a single prune in late winter or early spring for a quick clean up. Cut back to a healthy, thick bud. Thin out any spindly, old, broken or weak branches at the same time.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box!

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
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!
