A properly planted & maintained tree will grow much faster & live much longer than one that is incorrectly planted. Trees can be planted almost any time of the year as long as the soil is not frozen. However, early fall is the optimum time to plant trees. The roots grow some during the first fall & winter & then spring arrives the tree is ready to grow. Your second choice for planting is late winter or early spring. Hot summer weather is hard on newly planted trees & planting in frozen soil during the winter is difficult & tough on tree roots.

Here there are some planting instructions:

-dig the hole twice as wide as, & slightly shallower than, the root ball. Roughen the sides & bottom of the hole with a pick or shovel so that roots can penetrate the soil.

-with a potted tree, gently remove the tree from the container. Lay the tree on its side with the container end near the planting hole. Hit the bottom & sides of the container until the root ball is loosened. With trees wrapped in plastic or burlap, remove the string or wire that holds the wrapping to the root crown. Remove the wrapping if it is plastic, burlap may be left in place.

-gently separate circling roots on the root ball. Shorten exceptionally long roots, guide the shortened roots downward & outward. Root tips die quickly when exposed to light & air.

-place the root ball in the hole. Leave the top of the root ball (where the roots end & the trunk begins) ½ to 1 inch above the surrounding soil, making sure not to cover it unless roots are exposed. As you add soil to fill in around the tree, lightly tamp the soil to collapse air pockets, or add water to help settle the soil.

-form a temporary water basin around a base of the tree to encourage water penetration, & water thoroughly after planting. A tree with a dry root ball cannot absorb water, if the root ball is extremely dry, allow water to trickle into the soil by placing the hose at the trunk of the tree.

-mulch around the tree.

For the first year or two, especially after a week or so of especially hot or dry weather, watch your trees closely for signs of moisture stress. If you see leaf wilting or hard, caked soil, water the trees well & slowly enough so water soaks in rather than run off. This will encourage deep root growth. Keep the area under the trees mulched & free of other plants. Until the trees are deeply rooted, grasses & other plants may take up moisture before the trees can get their share.
