Shelterbelt Planting Guide for Farm Trees and Care
Dormant trees arrive at the Agricultural Representative office and should be stored in a cool shady location. If planting is delayed beyond five days, heeling in in a trench is advised. Transplanting by hand or with a tree planter requires proper depth, root protection, and even root spread to avoid death. Mechanical planters speed establishment. follow spacing and cover exposed roots. Maintain weed control by cultivation or herbicides such as Treflan, Gramoxone, Lorox Afolan, and Round-up after planting.
