Q: I'd like to plant a tree on my property and want to make sure it gets off to a good start. What are some tips for tree planting?








A: Trees need to be planted properly to live a long and healthy life. The first step is to pick a tree best suited for the planting site. Take into account your local climate, soil type, available space and the amount of sunlight the location receives.







 :police: ...
Once you've selected a tree to plant, here are a few tips: :happy1:


•Keep the trees roots damp until planting.
•Remove pot-bound and encircling roots.
•Plant the tree so the tree�s first woody root is at ground level.
•Layer 2 inches to 4 inches of mulch over planting area, keeping mulch away from trunk.
•Water newly planted trees at least once a week for three years.
