Question: What Is the Correct Method for Planting New Trees
The bad news is that planting new trees is not as easy as making a hole in the ground and installing the plants. The good news is that, if you take your planting seriously and get it right, you can expect to reap the dividends in the form of healthier plants...
Answer:
Planting new trees properly starts with evaluating your landscape and finding the right location. Next, make your hole the right way (believe it or not, not all holes are created equal). Finish up by lowering the plant into the excavated area and offering suitable after-care. I discuss all this in great detail in my full article on planting trees.
