Light SourwoodSole pieno
If a tree with a very thin trunk is put in shelter, it could be useful to secure it to a solid stake, which can keep it erect, and protect it from the damage caused by strong winds. These plants aren't afraid of the cold weather and can be grwon in the garden throughout the whole year.The Sourwood should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.

Water SourwoodTenere Umido
We should pay particular attention to those plants which have been recently placed in shelter; during the years, trees develop a cospicuous radical apparatus, and need watering only if the climate is particularly dry. Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 2-3 buckets of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water.

Fertilize Sourwood
Let’s fertilize the plants when implanting them, or every 2-3 years, towards the end of the winter or beginning of Autumn. A good quantity of organic fertilizer, such as manure or earthworm humus should be mixed to the soil at the foot of the stem; in this manner we will supply it with a good quantity of nutrients and we will also improve the mixture of the soil.

Pests Sourwood
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Sourwood
We should grow the The Sourwood in a soil for acidophilic plants which isn’t too drained.
