New Plantings

Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.
Remove 1/3 of the soil and replace it with compost, peat moos or a good planting mix.
Mix 1 cup of Espoma Palm-tone into the amended soil.
Set the root ball in the hole and backfill with the amended soil.
After settling, the soil level next to the trunk should be at the same level at which the tree grew in the nursery field or container.
Water thoroughly after planting. Check soil moisture regularly and water as needed.
