Special Care in Handling Young Trees
R. B. Campbell, extension forester at Iowa State College, urges careful handling of young trees. Buy evergreens or broadleafed types direct from the nursery to avoid drying or damage in transit. If shipping is necessary, inspect for damage, keep root packing moist, soak packing and plant within 48 hours. Keep trees cool and shaded, such as on the building’s north side, until planting.
