Planting Trees Properly

Your trees will survive and thrive if you take care to plant them well. Here's a website with some good information on how to plant trees and shrubs. You have to click around to see the entire instruction for different plants (bare root, balled and burlapped, container grown, etc.) One mistake made by many inexperienced gardeners is to plant their young tree too deep. Make sure you plant the tree at the same depth it was growing and not an inch deeper!
