Planting FAQs
What is the biggest mistake people make when planting new trees?
The biggest mistake is planting the tree too deep. The root flare (where the trunk widens at the base) must be slightly above the soil line to prevent bark rot and ensure the tree's health.
How often should I water a newly planted shrub?
Newly planted shrubs require consistent moisture for the first growing season. They should be watered deeply every few days, checking the soil moisture before each watering to ensure the roots establish themselves.
