URBAN FORESTRY Tree Planting Pmcedures
• Contact Holey Moley (within Indiana 1-800-382-55l or 811) to locate any underground
utill before you dig.
• Keep the root ball well watered and the tree in a shaded place until you are realty to
plant.
• Remove all tags, labels, and roping from the tree canopy.
• Determine the root flare on the ball and burlap tree before the planting hole Is dug so
that the depth of the planting hole can be measured properly.
➢ Remove twine and open the burlap from around the trunk area of the tree. Pull
back the excess soil wound the trunk to locate root flare and main order roots.
(That root flare is the enlarged area where stem tissue begins ro dl/ferenflah into
mein order and lateral roots. The top of the root ball is Trot always the root flare)
➢ Measure the distance from the base of the root flare to the bottom of the root ball
M determine the depth of the planting hole. (The roof flare should be at finish
gratle and the mein order roots just below finish grade. The roof flare maybe
hidden within that root bed.)
• Dig the planting hole M this depth and at least two times the diameter of the root ball
wide.
• Break up the sides of the planting hole to avold glazing. Leave the bottom of the hole
undisturbed to help support it and reduce setting.
Before the tree is placed in the planting hole, use boll cutters to remove the bottom of
the basket cutting Me basket horizontally. This is also a good time to remove the bottom
portion of burlap R the root ball is structurally sound. If the tree is container grown, cut
and remove the container.
• Roll the tree into planting hole by the root ball, not Me trunk. Be careful not to break off
the connection between the roots and trunk. (The root flare should be at or slightly alcove
finish grade.)
• Balance the tree upright, straight and center. Visually check from two opposing 90
degree sides for straightness. Make any adjustments using shovels to position the root
ball for straight hunk orientation. Do not make adjustments by manipulating the trunk.
• Use bolt cutlers to remove the rest of the wire basket by cul the basket vertically and
peeling off the basket.
• Remove any remaining package material including trine, strings, burlap, staples, nails,
or plastic, exposing the root ball.
• Prune dead or crushed roots and straighten or cm circling roots. Make clean cuts to
promote new root generation.
• Backfill using the existing soil up to where the root flare begins to branch, gently tamp.
RII soil just above where more begin to laterally branch from the trunk. (A bee planted
even I-loo deep may farm a dysfunctional mat system).
• Probe only dead broken, injured branches or double leadem. Do net palm wounds.
• Remove any additional transportation material including bee wrap, tape and string from
the trunk.
• Pour five h ten gallons of water slowly around the tree h eliminate any air pockets.
• Slake and brace the tress, if necessary. Support the tree but allow it to move or sway.
• Mulch evenly with 2- 3" of hardwood mulch At least to the diameter tree crown. Keep
mulch 3' away MOM the trunk.
• Fertilize to tree only after the tree has been installed for one year.
