MAKE A POSITIVE
IMPACT BY PLANTING
A TREE
TFamily Features here are countless
ways you can make
your environmental
contributions felt. If you’d
like to join millions of others
in the fi ght for Mother
Earth, consider one of the most popular gift s given back
to the world each year: planting a tree.
Consider these tips to properly
plant a tree in your own yard.
Choose the Right Tree and Location
Depending on where you live and your desired outcome,
choosing the right tree and planting location are critical
factors. Larger shade trees help cool homes in warmer climates,
evergreens provide privacy and fruit trees off er a
grocery store right in your backyard. Consider your available
space along with conditions that will impact the tree
itself, such as soil conditions, sun exposure, drainage and
more.
Dig Safely
Before digging, remember that proper tree placement
requires factoring in underground utility lines, overhead
power lines and proximity to sidewalks, driveways and
homes. Dial 811, the national call-before-you-dig number,
to locate underground utilities and consider contacting
an arborist or tree care professional to make sure you’ve
weighed all the important factors.
Break Ground
Dig a hole that’s roughly 2-3 times wider than the root ball
of your tree and equally as deep as the root ball. Be sure
the trunk fl are (where the trunk expands at the base of the
tree) is partially visible when planted. Remove any wrapping
or cover from the root ball and trunk. Lift from the
root ball, not the trunk, to place in the hole then straighten
vertically and fi rmly backfi ll soil around the root ball to
stabilize.
Add Mulch
Mulching helps maintain moisture and improve soil conditions
while controlling weed growth. Place a 2-3-inch
layer in a 3-foot radius around the base of the tree without
touching the trunk itself.
Keep Soil Moist
Make sure your tree has enough water to grow strong by
keeping the soil moist. Typically, this means watering just
once per week, barring rain, but may require more frequency
during especially hot weather.
