How do you care for a dwarf poinciana tree?

Dwarf douglas fir pine trees are cared for the same as a regular douglas fir tree. The only difference is that in maturity trimming should be done more often and smaller amounts taken off each time due to the overall size of the tree will never get large. General rule of thumb for any tree is never trim more than 25% of the trees leaves off. This will stress out the tree and regrowth will be more difficult. Do not fertilize the tree in the first year. Water the tree daily for the first week then cut back on watering until it can grow on its own. Feed the tree with an acid feed. I usually pick it up at Home Depot and is a product from Miraclegrow called Miracid. You should do the feeding once in the fall and once in the spring.
