Planting

Proper Site - Selecting a tree that meets site requirements is the most important factor influencing the success of a tree.

Transplant Shock - The rate of establishment after planting will vary with species, planting season, soil, site conditions and moisture availability.

How to plant- One of the most common planting problems is planting too deep. Planting too deep can stress the tree and suffocate the roots. The top of the root collar must be even or slightly higher than the soil grade. For more information on the effects of planting too deep, click on Stem Girdling Roots.
