How to Plant a Tree
This is how to plant a tree in 6 steps:
1. Dig a Hole
– Make it the same depth as the pot of your tree
– First, shovel straight across the ground to remove the first layer of soil and grass, then dig straight down
2. Place the Tree in the Hole
– Burp the baby: Place the pot on your knee and pat the bottom to gently remove the tree
– Make sure the line where the trunk changes to root is level with the surrounding soil
– Crumble and replace the soil, rocks can stay in the hole, and take the grass and turn it upside down in a circle around the plant to keep surrounding vegetation out
3. Add a Wildflower Companion
– Plant this beside the tree in the same hole
4. Make a Mulch Donut
– Add half a bucket of mulch around the tree in the shape of a ring/donut
5. Make a Plant Protector & Name Your Tree!
– The plant protector stops voles from gnawing on the baby stems, and you can also write a name on it
6. Water Your Tree
– We use 1 bucket of water, poured gently around the tree remove any pockets of air around the roots. This is very important for the tree to survive
