The key to growing healthy and beautiful trees is your care of your newly-planted trees. Although caring for your trees does require scheduled attention by you, it is not difficult or demanding work. Please take care of your trees so that they may provide years of shade and beauty.
Some Tree Survival Tips:
- Plant your trees as soon as possible, giving them room to grow.
- Drowning: Check root moisture for newly planted trees.
- Do not be fooled by surface soil conditions: check the soil 4 inches to 6 inches deep.
- The soil should be moist, not soggy. Deep water by placing the hose against the trunk and letting the water drip all day or night.
- Properly apply woodchips/mulch.
- Suffocation: Do not plant too deeply. The root crown (where trunk meets the roots) should be 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches above ground level.
- Choking: Be sure that you have properly staked the tree. This allows for trunk movement, encouraging strong and straight growth.
