tree planting guides
When planting bare-root seedlings it is important that the roots are planted straight up and down, and not bunched up at the bottom of the planting hole, or “J” rooted. . . .
Ideally, trees are planted during the dormant season — in the fall after leaf drop or in early spring before budbreak
Mulches are materials placed over the soil surface to maintain moisture and improve soil conditions. Mulching is one of the most beneficial acts a homeowner can do for the health of a tree
Tree shelters are only as good as their stake! Upgrade to oak or fiberglass stakes when ordering tree shelters. Bamboo stakes are not sturdy enough to hold up to winds and break off easily
