Proper Tree Planting and Aftercare Instructions
When planting trees avoid sun and drying winds and frosts at the roots. Prune broken roots with a sharp knife. Dig large holes for roots and plant in fine loam with well rotted manure. Do not let green manure contact roots. Spread roots in natural position and firm soil. Do not plant too deep. Set tree an inch deeper. Remove broken branches and cut back last year’s growth by half. In dry seasons water twice weekly. Keep soil fertile. Mulching in fall with manure helps.
