The top ol fhe roo[ ball is not always the root llare.) > Measure the distance from ihe base of the root flare to the bottom of the root ball to determine �he depth of ihe planting hole. (The root llare should 6e at finish grade and the main order roots just below linish grade. The root llare may be hidden within the root ball.) • Dig the planting hole to this depth and at least two times ihe diameter of the root ball wide. • Break up the sides of ihe planting hole to avoid glazing. Leave the bottom of the hole undisNrbed b help suppotl it and reduce se�tling. • Before the iree is placed in the planting hole, use bolt cutters to remove ihe bottom of ihe baske[ cut�ing ihe basket horimn[alty. This is also a good [ime to remove �he bottom portion of burlap if ihe root ball is simcNrally sound. If the iree is container grown, cut and remove ihe container. • Roll the hee into planting hole by the root ball, not ihe tmnk. Be careful not to break off ihe connection between the roots and tmnk. (The root llare should be at orslighNy above iinish grade.) • Balance the iree upright, siraight and center. Visualry check from two opposing 90 degree sides for straigh�ness. Make any adjus[ments using shovels �o posi[ion �he root ball for straight trunk orientation. Do not make adjusiments by manipulating the trunk. • Use bolt wtters [o remove the rest of ihe wire baske[ by cutling the basket vertiwlly and peeling off ihe basket. • Remove any remaining package ma�erial including twine, s[rings, budap, s�aples, nails, or plastic, exposing ihe root ball. • Prune dead or croshed roots and straighten or cut circling roots. Make clean cuts to promote new root generation. • Backfill using the existing soil up to where ihe rwt ilare begins �o branch, gently �amp. Fill soil just above where roots begin to laterally branch from the Vunk (A tree planted even i"too deep may /orm a dyslunc[ional roo[ system). • Prune only dead, broken, injured branches or double leaders. Do not paim wounds. • Remove any additional iransportation material including tree wrap, tape and string from ihe trunk. • Pour five to ten gallons oi water slowly around the iree to eliminate any air pockets. • Stake and 6race ihe tree, it necessary. Support the tree but allow it ro move or sway. • Mulch evenly with 2- 3" of hardwood mulch at least ro ihe diameter tree crown.
