Installing The Tree

Carefully remove the tree from the container.

Cut circling roots and those matted at the bottom.  Set the root ball so its top is one to two inches above grade.


Backfill with originally removed soil and gently firm the soil to hold the tree in place and minimize air pockets.

Build a 4-inch berm around the root ball.
