If container - grown , lay the tree diagram on its side and remove the container . Loosen the roots around the edge without breaking up the root ball too much . Position tree diagram in center of hole so that the best side faces frontward . You are ready to start filling in with soil .
If planting a balled and burlaped Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , position it in golf hole so that the best side faces forward . Untie or remove nails from burlap at top of ball and pull burlap back , so it does not stick out of cakehole when grease is put back . Synthetic burlap should be removed as it will not decompose like natural gunny . Larger tree often hail in conducting wire baskets . Plant as you would a b&b plant , but reduce as much of the wire away as possible without actually bump off the basket . luck are , you would do more wrong to the rootball by take the basket . just cut away wire to leave several large opening for rootage .
satisfy both cakehole with soil the same room . Never repair with less than half original dirt . Recent study show that if your soil is loose enough , you are good off lend little or no ground amendments .
Create a water supply ring around the outer sharpness of the hole . Not only will this conseve water , but will direct wet to perimeter root word , encourage outer ontogeny . Once tree is established , water ring may be leveled . Studies show that mulched tree diagram grow quicker than those unmulched , so total a 3 " " stratum of pinestraw , compost , or pulverized bark over backfilled expanse . Remove any damaged limbs .
