A simple step-by-step guide to planting a tree and how easy it can be!

1. Measure the hole. Do not plant the trees too deeply. If you bury part of the trunk, it eventually rots and kills the tree.

2. Measure the plant.

3. Prepare hole.

4. Gently run your hand over the base of the root ball to break up/ loosen the dirt and roots. Place plant in hole.

5. Cover root ball with soil.

6. Place mulch around plant. Be sure to leave a ring of empty space around the base of the tree.
