How To Plant A Tree
The ideal time to plant trees is during the dormant season—in early spring before budbreak or fall after leaf drop.
Dig a shallow pit twice the width of the root ball and deep enough for the root flare—where the trunk meets the roots—to sit even with the soil line or up to 1 inch higher. Use your shovel as a measuring tool to make sure your pit is wide and deep enough. Break up the sides of the pit with your shovel so that roots can penetrate the native soil. Finally, flatten the floor of the pit so that the tree stands straight.
Roll or place the tree into the pit. Remove any compacted soil on top of the root ball until the root flare is visible. If a container tree, loosen the compacted soil by scoring the root ball with vertical cuts a few inches deep evenly around the root ball. Make sure to handle the tree by the root ball and not the trunk. Once the tree is standing straight, carefully remove any containers, labels, wrappings, wires, and ties from the root ball. If a ball and burlap tree, cut and remove as much burlap as possible.
Backfill the pit around the root ball with the same soil that was dug out. Make sure not to put any grass back into the hole because it will compete with the tree for nutrients and water. Gently pack backfill to settle soil around the root ball, preventing air pockets. Make sure the tree is as straight as possible, and the root flare is even or slightly above the soil line.
Stakes may be used to stabilize and straighten the tree before roots are established. If needed, place stakes outside of the pit and root ball. Attach ties to the lower half of the tree.
Cover the soil with 2–4 inches of mulch. Shape the mulch into a wide, flat donut, leaving 2–3 inches around the trunk bare.
Water the tree right after planting, making sure to concentrate on the root ball. Water at least once a week.
