How To Plant Tiger Eyes® Staghorn Sumac
The Tiger Eyes® prefers a home in a full sun location. When it comes to soil, it isn't too picky, doing well in a range of soils like sandy or clay. Of course, it'll be happiest with a well draining soil.
How To Water
When freshly planted, you should be diligent in watering your Tiger Eyes®. We recommend watering every two to four days to be sure it receives sufficient water while it works its roots into the surrounding soil. After establishment, you can reduce watering to once a week.
How To Fertilize
At the time of planting, you should fertilize your Tiger Eyes® with the Bower & Branch Starter Plant Food to ensure your plant receives the much needed nutrients for establishment. After that, fertilize in early spring as your plant begins to break dormancy for the year.
How To Prune
The pruning of your Tiger Eyes® should take place in late winter to early spring, before it breaks dormancy. Prune back any long shoots for a more uniform look if desired. Dig up any root suckers that may appear and remove them to prevent the plant from spreading and to maintain a compact habit.
