Easy to Grow
Planting Trees For Success
Start by soaking bare root tree roots in a bucket of water for a few hours—this helps wake them up. Dig a hole wide enough so the roots stretch out, not cramped or bent.
Build a small mound of soil in the center and rest the base of the tree on top, letting the roots drape evenly around it.
cover back up with soil, pressing it down gently with your hands to hold everything in place.
Root Placement of Trees
The top of the roots should sit level with the ground—not buried too deep.
Give it a slow, deep watering, then spread mulch around the tree, keeping it off the trunk. Keep the soil moist while the tree settles in.
Tips For Success
Tree Care After Planting
After planting a tree, water it deeply right away to help settle the soil around the roots. Keep the soil evenly moist—especially during the first year—so the roots can establish properly.
Tree Care and Irrigation
Do not over water and let the top few inches of soil dry slightly between soakings. Add a ring of mulch around the base to hold moisture in and keep the temperature regulated, but keep it pulled back from the trunk to prevent rot.
Skip fertilizer the first season—focus on strong root growth instead. If needed, stake the tree loosely to support it, but remove the stake after the first year.
Watch for pests or disease, and remove any broken or crossing branches early on. A healthy start leads to a strong, long-lasting tree
