Tree Planting

A properly planted tree or shrub will be more tolerant of adverse conditions and require much less management. The planting technique impacts water quality as it minimizes water, fertilizer and pesticides used. When making decisions on planting techniques consider how the plant was grown in the tree farm, the plant drainage requirements, the soil type and irrigation availability. The plant should be specifically appropriate to the site or the site should be altered specifically for the tree or shrub.
