A few things to keep in mind:

  • Orders leave from a separate facility and may arrive on their own schedule
  • Online plant purchases don't carry any warranty or guarantee
  • How a plant does once it's home depends on the care and conditions you give it

🌱 Successful Planting Instructions
Proper planting depth — plant 2–3" higher than grade, trunk flare exposed

1. Dig a hole 1½–2× the width of your plant's root ball. Set the soil to the side.

2. Mix your backfill — Pine Bark Soil Conditioner, Compost & Native Soil (1/3 of each) in a wheelbarrow or on the ground.

3. Plant it high — when backfilling, keep the plant 2–3" higher than the surrounding soil (as shown). Plant flush with the soil if in a raised bed.

4. Mulch the top of the soil 2–3" deep around the plant — keep mulch away from the main trunk.

5. Feed as you plant with Holly-tone for acid-loving plants.

💧 Watering Guide

Over- and under-watering is the #1 cause of plant death — so always check the soil before you water.

How to check — the wire/screwdriver test. Straighten a wire or coat hanger, push it 6–12" into the soil next to the plant, pull it out, and read it:
  • Clear or dusty → water the plant
  • Muddy → soil is too wet
  • Moist with a little soil clinging to it → watered just right ✓
  • Won't go in → water immediately

Newly planted trees & shrubs — keep the soil moist their first season and never let it dry out. Water slowly at the base (hose ~6" from the trunk, pencil-thin stream):

  • Shrubs — 3 min
  • Ornamentals (flowering crab, etc.) — 10 min
  • Evergreens (6') — 15 min
  • Deciduous (2½" caliper) — 15 min (+15 min per extra inch)

Using a Gator Bag? Fill it every 3 days.

How often (OHIO Weather) (new plantings):

  • Apr 15 – May 15: once a week
  • May 16 – Sept 15: twice a week
  • Sept 16 – Oct 31: once a week
  • Mid-Nov – early Dec: once, if the ground isn't frozen
Already established? Most of the time, rooted-in plants only need water during a drought — when it's gone 10–14 days without an inch of rain.
