Buying Shrubs And Trees With A Landscape Plan
Before visiting a garden center, consider four main points for shrubs and trees. Avoid impulse buys, assess growth habits and space needs, ensure soil moisture and climate suitability, and confirm hardiness in your area. When buying shade trees, select sturdy trunks and well-distributed branches, with healthy root systems and proper protection for bare root stock. Ensure balled or burlapped stock is well watered and avoid plants exposed to harsh sun. Check for shade in displays and protection of soil balls, then note plant freshness and recent shipments.
