4. Watering

• Keep soil lightly moist until germination.

• Reduce watering once seedlings are well-established.

5. Transplanting

• Transplant outdoors once seedlings reach 68 inches.

• Choose full-sun areas with space for vertical growth.

6. Long-Term Care

• Minimal pruning required.

• Mulch around base to maintain soil moisture.

• Avoid frost exposure as young plants are sensitive.

7. Growth Timeline

• Rapid vertical growth begins within the first year.

• Suitable for timber harvest in long-term plantation cycles.
