๐ŸŒฑ Successful Planting Instructions
Proper planting depth โ€” plant 2โ€“3" higher than grade, trunk flare exposed

1. Dig a hole 1ยฝโ€“2ร— the width of your plant's root ball. Set the soil to the side.

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

3. Plant it high โ€” when backfilling, keep the plant 2โ€“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 2โ€“3" deep around the plant โ€” keep mulch away from the main trunk.

5. Feed as you plant with Holly-tone (below).

โš ๏ธ Never remove the burlap or metal basket from balled & burlapped plants โ€” it rots away on its own. If your plant has plastic twine, cut it once it's positioned in the hole. If it's in a plastic pot, remove it carefully from the pot.

The 1/3 blend:

Espoma Holly-tone Espoma Holly-tone
Natural & organic fertilizer for acid-loving plants.
Cedar Mulch Cedar Mulch
Top off with 2โ€“3" to hold moisture & keep weeds down. Pick your color.
๐Ÿ’ง Watering Guide

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

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

Newly planted trees & shrubs โ€” 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 โ€” 3 min
  • Ornamentals (flowering crab, etc.) โ€” 10 min
  • Evergreens (6') โ€” 15 min
  • Deciduous (2ยฝ" caliper) โ€” 15 min (+15 min per extra inch)

Using a Gator Bag? Fill it every 3 days.

How often (new plantings):

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