PLANTING DIRECTIONS
Dig a broad shallow planting hole. Enlarge the hole up to
twice the diameter of the root ball. Existing soils beneath
many planting sites have been compacted and are unsuitable
for healthy root growth. The fresh loose soil from replanting
provides the new emerging roots room to grow and expand.
This will stimulate quick healthy regrowth.
Identify the trunk flare. This is where the roots spread at the
base of the tree. This point should be partially visible after the
tree has been planted. If the flare is not visible, you have to
remove some soil from the top of the rootball. Find it to
determine the proper depth of the hole.
Place the tree at the proper depth. Before placing the tree
in the hole, measure the depth of the root ball. The majority
of the roots develop in the top 12” of the soil. If the tree is too
deep, new roots will have difficulty due to lack of oxygen. It is
better to plant the tree a little high with trunk flare 1” to 3”
above grade than to plant too deep.
Straighten the tree in the hole. Before you begin to backfill,
view the tree from several directions to confirm the tree is
straight. Once you backfill the hole with soil, it is difficult to
reposition the tree.
Fill the hole gently but firmly. Fill the hole about 1/3 full and
tamp the original soil around the base of the root ball. If the
tree is balled and burlapped, cut and remove the string and
wire from around the trunk and top 1/3 of the rootball. Be
careful not to damage the trunk or roots. Fill the balance of
the hole by adding several inches of soil at a time and settle
with water. Repeat this process until the hole is filled.
Stake the tree if necessary. Generally speaking, it is not
required, but some trees with course root systems need
additional support for regrowth. Protective staking may be
beneficial where lawn mower damage, vandalism, or windy
conditions are concerns.
Mulch the base of the tree. Mulch acts as a blanket to hold
moisture, protect against harsh soil temperature and reduce
competition from grass and weeds. It also protects against
lawn mower and weed trimmer damage. A 2” to 4” layer of
shredded bark is ideal. Do not heap directly against the trunk.
Leave a 1” to 2” wide area mulch-free at the base. This will
prevent decay of the living bark at the bottom of the tree.
