We are coming into the main planting season now. Here are some things to be thinking about.
1 Soil condition is vital. If your soil is not friable and you are smearing the sides of the hole the tiny root hairs cannot break through the solid barrier. Leave it to another day.
2 Soak the tree overnight and keep the roots covered before you plant. Do not let it dry out in the wind.
3 Put in the stake; dig the hole; plant the tree as you go.
4 Planting depth is critical, make sure you are not planting too deeply.
5 Guard the tree immediately. Rabbits can be very quick off the mark.
