How to Plant a Tree


How to plant a tree:

1. Research online how big your tree gets, then choose a spot to dig a hole. Don’t plant big trees or trees with large spreading roots near a house or permanent structure.

2. Use root stimulator to prevent transplant shock and help roots take to new dirt. Soak root ball in root stimulator as directed.

3. Put about a handful of fertilizer at the bottom of the hole and put tree in hole.
