I just planted some 1.5 quart Indian Hawthorn plants. I'm in Florida - very sandy soil. At the suggestion of the guy in the F&G dept at Home Depot I put some topsoil in the holes for them. I see some new growth but wondering what if anything I can do to maximize/accelerate their growth? We're in the rainy season right now.
Thanks for all input.
Very sandy soil is lacking in organic material, keep an inch or so mulch of compost around them.

Good idea. Also maybe a soil application of microelements with very low nitrogen until you find out more about the plant.
Mulching -
Hmm, most Floridians wish their plantings would grow much more slowly.
