I Have A Small Washington Harthorne Tree That Is Not Growing

Question

It’s been in a sunny part of my lawn for two years & at best it’s only a foot and a half . I live in southeastern Penna . Any Suggestions Thanks

Answer 1

Since it is in the lawn, be sure to remove grass around it a few feet to protect it from mowers, weed eaters, and lawn pesticides. Mulch it well with a hardwood mulch. Hawthornes need to be well watered until established, and even then, need moderate water. That may be what it is lacking. They also need well-draining soil.

Here are its care tips below.
