Trees and shrubs can be planted year-round as long as the ground isn’t frozen. When planting a new tree, keep in mind that until new roots can grow into the surrounding soil, the only water the plant can reach is that surrounding the relatively small root ball .
At minimum, new trees should be watered twice weekly, and even more under hot, dry summer conditions. Water slowly to allow moisture to make its way deep down into the soil to encourage the roots to follow.
When planting, make sure the base of the trunk is not planted too deep, and keep mulch pulled back to allow air to flow around the base of the tree. Make sure the surface of the root ball will be level with the surrounding soil level after the tree has settled.
Staking young trees will minimize stress from wind in unprotected locations. Because the tree will continue to grow it is important to allow some movement. Check trees every three months to loosen as needed. Use fence posts and a short length of old garden hose with wire through the hose to prevent damage to the trunk. Remove the stakes after one to two years.
Our trees and shrubs are guaranteed!
