Planting New Tree! Here's our advice--

Once you have chosen a new tree and you are ready for planting, take a little bit of time to learn how to plant correctly. It's very easy to insure that your new tree will survive and THRIVE!

Read over the tree planting instructions for both bare-root, and balled & burlaped trees to get a feel for what you're trying to accomplish. If you have a container-grown tree, treat it similarly to the balled and burlaped tree, making sure to carefully observe the roots and disentangle them.

These instructions are fine for most trees, including dogwood trees, cherry trees, fruit trees, Japanese maple trees, and oaks, maples, and evergreens of all kinds.

Good planting!
