Planting Tips & Instructions
Trees & Shrubs
> Dig your planting hole at least six inches
larger than the rootball on all sides.
> The depth of the hole should allow the
finished level of soil to be at the same
height as it was grown.
Balled and Burlap
>Plant with Burlap in place
> Fill hole around rootball about half
way and water deeply
> untie all strings and ropes from
around the plant then fold back the
burlap tucking under to soil
> If there is a wire basket fold back the
loops and tuck them under the soil
> Fill the remaining hole with good soil
and water deeply once more using a
root stimulator
Fibre Pots
>Always leave in place when
planting!
>Break away the top portion of the
pot and make three slits in the sides
of the pot about halfway up from the
bottom
>Water thoroughly adding a root
stimulator
Plastic Pots
>Water thoroughly before
removing the plastic container
> if the plant does not remove
easily tap the sides and the
bottom of the pot lightly
>Dig hole 1 1/2 times larger than
pot. Use a quality soil around
roots. Water thoroughly.
Be sure to mulch all newly
planted trees & shrubs, Water
Deeply, twice weekly.

Remember: A tree will last forever if
properly cared for. Plant a tree
today, breathe easier tomorrow.
