Planting Instructions
These easy steps must be followed to insure healthy growth of your trees and shrubs. Failure to do so voids any guarantee.
- Prepare hole twice as wide as container and a few inches deeper.
- Mix your original soil with a good quality soil such as triple mix (ratio should be roughly 50:50). When planting in a clay soil, care must be taken to break-up clumps. Backfilling with clumpy soil will create air pickets therefore causing roots to dry out and die. Adding one or two handfuls of bone meal into your soil mixture will greatly help improve root growth.
- Put some of your mixed soil in the bottom of the hole and pack it down a bit. Next place the shrub or tree into the hole. The container can be left on at this point as you judge the proper depth, which should be only slightly higher than existing grade.
- Remove the container and return the shrub into the hole and backfill. Water as needed; moist roots grow, water-logged or dry roots die.
* Note: Shade trees require two stakes for the first year.
