Persian ironwood

Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica 'JLColumnar' PERSIAN SPIRE) should be watered deeply and thoroughly once every 2 weeks during the growing season. Make sure to water the soil around the plant deeply, not just on the surface, so that the roots are able to soak up the water and nutrients. Water the soil until it is moist but not saturated. During the winter months, it should be watered less frequently, approximately once every 3 to 4 weeks.

Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica 'JLColumnar' PERSIAN SPIRE) is an ornamental plant that prefers full sun exposure. For optimal health, this species should be placed in a location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, ideally between 10am and 4pm. Partial shade or partial sun can work if necessary, but it is important to ensure that the plant still receives ample light. Adequate sunlight is necessary for the plant to produce adequate foliage and sustain flowering.

It is recommended to prune Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica 'JLColumnar' PERSIAN SPIRE) in late winter or early spring. Prune selectively to maintain the plant’s shape and size and to encourage new growth. Begin by cutting out dead or damaged branches, then shaping as desired. Pruning should be very light with very few branches removed at a time. Try to keep the plant’s form in mind as you prune. Avoid over-pruning, as this can damage the plant.
