1. Dig hole twice the width and
only as deep as the top of soil line in the pot or burlap wrapped
plants
 |
Helpful hit: after you
dig your hole, first fill your hole ˝ way with water and let
drain. This will give you an idea what type of soil you have,
and if you need to make changes in your drainage.
|
2. Place plant in hole. Filling
it ˝ way with soil, bed in with finger tips
|
|
Note: Make sure your plant is
standing straight in all 4 directions. |
|
|
Note: make sure ALL twine and
burlap is pulled away from trunk of tree. |
3. Water in ˝ filled hole. This
will help the settling of soil (air pockets)
4. Fill rest of hole with soil
and water in again. Then stake if needed.

|
You can form a dike around the
outside of the planting hole |
|
|
Placing mulch or rock mulch around
your plant will help control soil temperature and moisture. This
will help you stay consistent with your watering schedule. |
|
|
We recommend cedar bark 4” deep
inside the dike area but not piled against the stem. |
