Planting Tips
1. Dig the hole to the depth of the root ball and 1’ wider than the ball or container – It is better to plant slightly shallow than too deep.
2. Remove plant from the container. If the plant is in burlap, leave the burlap on (and wire basket if applicable.) Place or roll the root ball into the hole then cut the twine and burlap from around the trunk and top of the root ball.
3. Fill the hole with ½ original soil and ½ peat moss (recommended for dry/sandy soil) or ½ compost (recommended for wet/clay.) Adding a root stimulator fertilizer would be an added benefit as well.
4. Water thoroughly to settle the soil and adjust soil level if necessary.
​
Care Tips
1. Newly planted shrubs and trees need at least 1” of water per week. Water thoroughly if the soil is dry 1” below the surface. A good watering is recommended over frequent shallow watering’s. Evenly water sod 1 hour a day until firmly rooted.
2. Leaves may wilt from too much water, not enough water, transplant shock or lack of fertilizer. Follow the 1” water rule. If fertilizer is advised, apply starter fertilizer according to the label instructions.
3. To conserve moisture and minimize weed growth, spread 2” of mulch around the plant keeping 1” from the trunk.
4. Prune off dead limbs and deadhead flowers, as necessary. Stake trees only in windy areas.
