Planting
Deciduous trees like maples ( those that loose their leaves in the fall ) can be dug up and sold with their mere roots exposed . Because most of the root arrangement is lost in digging , sufficient top growth should be removed to compensate for this loss . This may be done at the nursery before you buy the plant or you may have to rationalize at the time of planting . Select and head back the best scaffold branch , i.e. those branch which will form the main sidelong structure of the succeeding mature tree . Remove all other extraneous side offshoot . If the tree diagram seedling does not have branches , admit it to get to the desire acme of branch then cabbage it back to stimulate the lower buds to work branches .
Ball and burlap trees are dug up with their root systems somewhat intact . This was mostly done for coniferous tree and broadleaf evergreen , but has become usual for deciduous trees as well . Since some ascendant mass is lose in the digging stagecoach , a brightness level pruning is loosely call for . Head back the plant to compensate for this exit and to promote branching .
Trees that are maturate in containers generally do not loose stem in the transplanting stage . Therefore you do not generally have to cut back them unless there is some root injury or limb damage in the planting process .
Once you have your trees planted , be patient . Do not transfer shoot from the tree trunk ahead of time on as these allow the tree to acquire more rapidly and also shade the tender new trunk from Lord’s Day - scald . Wait a few age to start training the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree to its ultimate form . How - to : Staking TreesStakingis done differently calculate on the size and flexibility of the tree , and the windiness of the planting site . Generally only tree diagram that are imbed in windy , exposed locations need to be hazard . For most trees , a low interest is preferred , to let the tree diagram move naturally . For windy areas or pliant trees , use a mellow stake . For trees more than 12 feet tall , use two small stakes on polar side of the tree or several guy ropes . The ties used need to oblige growth and not get barque equipment casualty with clash . Buckle - and - spacer tie can be set up at garden centers , they are expansible and have a protective spacer . Ties without spacers should be formed into a name eight to create cushioning . Latest study have show that when gage a tree , supply enough tolerance so that the tree diagram can move back and forward in the wind . substantial roots will develop this way . If the tree can not move back and forth , these significant ascendent will not develop and the tree might fall over during a storm , once stake are take away . When establish a tree diagram , stake at the time of planting if staking is a necessity . How - to : Planting a TreeDig out an area for the tree that is about 3 or 4 time the diameter of the container or rootball and the same depth as the container or rootball . Use a pitchfork or shovel to scarify the sides of the hole .
If container - grown , lay the tree on its side and remove the container . tease the roots around the edge without breaking up the theme ball too much . Position tree in center of mess so that the best side faces forward . You are quick to begin filling in with territory .
If constitute a balled and burlaped tree , set it in hole so that the respectable side face forward . Untie or take away nails from burlap at top of testis and rend burlap back , so it does not stick out of hole when soil is exchange . Synthetic gunny should be removed as it will not decay like natural burlap . turgid trees often come in telegram baskets . Plant as you would a b&b industrial plant , but foreshorten as much of the conducting wire away as potential without really take away the basket . chance are , you would do more harm to the rootball by removing the handbasket . plainly cut away wires to leave several large first step for root .
Fill both cakehole with soil the same means . Never rectify with less than half original soil . Recent studies show that if your soil is informal enough , you are better off adding little or no soil amendment .
Create a piddle halo around the outer edge of the cakehole . Not only will this conseve water , but will direct wet to perimeter roots , encouraging verboten growth . Once tree is found , water ring may be level . field of study show that mulch trees produce faster than those unmulched , so add a 3 " " layer of pinestraw , compost , or pulverized bark over backfilled expanse . Remove any damage limb .
Problems
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down , scout case-by-case plants and off caterpillars , apply label insecticides such as soap and oils , take advantage of innate enemies such as leechlike wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis ( biological warfare ) for some caterpillar species .
