Dig a hole double the width of your pot ( or root ball)
Depth of hole should not be deeper then the root ball
Remove plastic or fiber container
Removal of tree should be done with care, so as to not disturb the roots. If needed cut the pot.
Before planting the tree, moisten soil in the dugout hole
After planting, add starter fertilizer to give your tree the nutrients needed to grow
Depending on the location where tree is planted, or how large the crown is. Stake the tree to prevent it from falling over due to strong winds
pruning is recommended in early spring or late fall. Remove any dead or broken branches
Do not prune terminal leader or branch tips
Watering:
After planting your tree, keep the tree well watered for roots to catch hold
Initial watering after planting is very important
