Let’s continue with our New Tree Planting Series:
- Fill the hole firmly. Pack soil around the base of the root ball to stabilize it. If the root is wrapped then carefully cut and remove the fabric from around the trunk and root ball to prevent girdling and to facilitate root growth. Fill the remainder of the hole, firmly packing the soil to eliminate air pockets that may dry out roots. Reduce air pockets by watering periodically while backfilling. Avoid fertilization around the time of planting.
- Stake the tree if necessary. It has been shown that trees establish more quickly if they are not staked at the time of planting. Staking may be required, however, when planting bare root stock or planting on windy sites. Stakes may also offer protection against lawn mower damage and vandalism. One or two stakes used with a wide, flexible tie material on the lower half of the tree will hold the tree upright and minimize injury to the trunk yet still allow movement.
