yellowhorn

Yellowhorn thrives in moist soil, so regular watering is essential for producing lush foliage and maximum flowers. Water this plant once or twice a week, making sure to keep the soil moist but not too wet. Make sure the soil is well-draining and water until the top few inches of soil becomes moist. When temperatures reach 85-90°F (29-32°C), increase watering to every other day or even twice a day. Overwatering is a risk, so if too much moisture is present, cut back on the frequency. During the winter months, watering is reduced to once a week or less.

The yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) is a deciduous shrub that needs 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. It grows best in full sun conditions, but can also tolerate light shade, especially when young. For optimal growth and flowering, it should receive full sun during the warmer months of spring and summer and partial shade during the cooler months of fall and winter. The yellowhorn does well in USDA Hardiness Zones 6 to 9 and prefers soil with neutral or slightly acidic pH levels.

Yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) is a deciduous shrub that is best pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done sparingly, focusing mainly on removing dead or diseased wood and trimming off any shoots growing outside of the desired shape of the shrub. When pruning yellowhorn, start by removing any broken, diseased, or dead wood with pruners or loppers. Make sure to make cuts just outside of any buds or nodes on the stem in order to encourage new growth. Then thin out the canopy by removing shoots from the center of the shrub and trimming back any wayward branches. Finally, lightly shape the shrub by pruning off any overlong branches.
