If planting a balled and burlaped tree , set it in golf hole so that the best side faces ahead . Untie or take away nail from gunny at top of ball and extract burlap back , so it does not stick out of gob when grease is replaced . Synthetic burlap should be removed as it will not break down like natural gunny . large trees often come in wire hoop . Plant as you would a b&b works , but cut as much of the conducting wire away as possible without actually remove the basket . chance are , you would do more harm to the rootball by murder the basket . Simply cut away wires to result several large openings for roots .
Fill both holes with soil the same manner . Never ameliorate with less than half original soil . Recent study show that if your soil is loose enough , you are full off sum little or no soil amendment .
make a piss ring around the outer edge of the hole . Not only will this conseve water , but will send wet to perimeter roots , encouraging outer growth . Once tree is established , water system ring may be leveled .
