One major omission is exposing the tree's root flare. The top layer of soil should be removed until the root flare is exposed. The tree should be planted at such a height that the root flare is above ground level. This will prevent roots growing around the trunk and possibly strangling the tree.

Glad you did a little root pruning, however if you were to putting watter in the hole is a better technique. Also watering everyday leads to root rot. I recomend planting a tree in mud, a thick slurry of dirt and watter and only watering once every 3 days at most. Plants like to get saturated and then dry out. Iv planted hundreds of trees this way. Our trees throw off new growth the first year

This works in California or places with more than 6% humidity (like the place you're at that has the ability to have grass growing) But doesn't usually work in ARIZONA where grass doesn't grow especially during warm months. Here with our climate, any disturbance to the roots is a guarantee for shock. We have to plant the tree as is without cutting or disturbing the roots, that way the tree goes in and never knows he's out of his container. Planting in September we have better luck, because the weather in Sept is like Spring for other places.

When I put my trees in the hole I shoot the sides with the water hose and it loosens things up but I try not to shoot so hard as to crumble too much. If they had back filled with some sand or maybe even some compost it would give those roots a really good chance of coming out instead of with the super hard dirt but survival of the fish so if they can make it through that hard dirt it's going to stay there like you said for a couple hundred years or until someone chops it down

I have to remind you that when you add compost or organic matter, 90% of it leaves the soil in just three years. Without building the soil up all the way to the drip line, you can stifle root development and that will have lasting effects over the life of the tree. New research is showing better results when trees are planted into square, rather than round holes.

@shanecorkery41189 жыл бұрын
if you line the tree pit with manure it really encourages the roots down i did this with my climbing hydreangea in a driveway and its gone from strength to strength also square tree pits are much better as the roots can circle in round holes where as square tree pits the corners are the best points for root penetration.
FYI The hole should be square NOT round. Round holes make it harder for roots to spread. Corners stop them from circling and creating root balls. Of course if soil is very loose it doesn’t really matter. Happy planting!! 😊

Nurseries hack off with a machete or use a pruning saw to cut away the outer 1/2" to 2" of roots, depending on size of the root ball. Trees that are root shaved have much longer, healthier lives. It's faster that easier than teasing out the roots, and research shows it works better.

Agree, I stop watching when the guy measure the height of the hole to the depth of the hole. I would prefer another 12 to 18 inches deeper to put in compost and garden soil to give the root a chance to expand out. That dirt looks like a lot of clay making root growth limited to same depth as the potted tree. I would also make the hole a larger diameter to mix better soil/compost. Tree does not have a good chance with limited root growth.
