| TREE PLANTING AND CARE | |
| continued from the previous page | |
| ��� After preparing the site, place the tree in the hole by lifting the tree by the root ball (never by the trunk). Container-grown trees need to be removed from the container and have any circling roots clipped to prevent the development of girdling roots which may result in the death of the tree in later years. After the tree is in the hole, carefullly cut away as much of the burlap as possible. The illustrations below explain the next steps: backfilling; watering; and soil ring construction. | |
