Growing and Maintenance Tips
Tsuga 'Moon Frost' is best situated in part shade where it is protected from strong drying winds and hot afternoon sun. It will grow in average to moist soil conditions but will not tolerate wet sites. It will adapt to a wide range of soil conditions but prefers acidic soil. It should not be allowed to dry out and will benefit from a mulch to conserve soil moisture. Any pruning should be done from late May to June with nothing after mid summer.
