Planting

Prepare for planting by tilling the soil in the designated area to a depth of at least 12 inches. Consider using organic materials such as compost to enhance drainage and fertility, if necessary. Dig a hole that is slightly wider and no deeper than the root ball. The hole should be deep enough so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Carefully remove the plant from its container and examine the roots. If they are tightly bound, gently unravel them before placing the plant into the hole. Position the plant in the center of the hole and fill it in with soil, firmly packing it around the roots to eliminate any air pockets. After planting, thoroughly water the tree to settle the soil around the roots. Provide consistent watering in the first growing season, especially during dry periods, to aid in the plant's establishment.
