5. **Care and Maintenance**:
- Young trees need consistent watering, particularly in the first few years until they establish root systems.
- Mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduce weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.
- Regularly check for pests or disease and act quickly if you spot issues.
- Pruning will help shape your tree, promote health, and encourage flowering or fruit.
