1.Check light and soil requirements of your
plant. REMEMBER- Right plant ,right place.
2. In heavy clay soil: prepare a large
shallow area(1 foot deep) The wider the better. Incorporate 30%organic matter (Compost,
peat humus, leaf mold Etc. ). Avoid sand
In areas of poor drainage plant a little
higher. The wetter the soil the higher the plant ball should be.
3. Loosen the soil to twice the width of the
root ball. Add a little organic matter. Your aim is to get the tree or shrub to grow into
surrounding soil- don't spoil the roots or they will never move out! Cut or straighten
circular roots.
4. Stake plants only when necessary. Staking
tends to slow a plant's development down.
5. Fertilize in spring, but stop nitrogen
rich fertilizing by mid summer- This allows new growth to stop and harden up before frost.
6. Protect tender bark from rabbit and deer
damage -wrap in early winter. Remove the wrap in the spring.
7. Watch damaging bark with string trimmers,
lawn mowers etc.
8. Mulch soil but avoid mulch on the trunk.
