The roof flare may be hidden within the root ball.) • Dig the planting hole to this depth and at least two times the diameter of the root ball wide. • Break up the sides of the planting hole to avoid glazing. Leave the bottom of the hole undisturbed to help support it and reduce settling. • Before the tree is placed in the planting hole, use boft cutters to remove the bottom of the basket cutting the basket horizardally.
