Quick Steps for Planting
- Prior to planting, consider the location and soil type best suited to this species of plant
- Prepare a hole only about 10% larger than the size of the bag, so that the rootball can be firm in the hole when released from its bag
- Slit the bag right around the base, and pull flap open
- Place the tree, still in the bag, into the hole
- Let the tree ease out through the open bag into the hole
- Remove the bag by lifting it up over the tree, or cut it down the sides
- Stabilise the tree into the soil, but not too hard
- Add stakes and a windbreak if necessary
- Tie the tree to the stakes
- Water and mulch the plant
