General Planting Instructions


1. Dig the hole twice as wide as the size of the container or the ball.  Do not go deeper than the container or ball size.

2. Round off the edges of the hole

3. Take the plant out of the container and disturb the roots all the way around. Spread the roots out as best as possible or rip them with your fingers or cut them with a tool.

4.  Use fresh black dirt and a little Canadian peat moss to mix with your old soil.  Make sure that you do NOT put any soil up around the trunk.  DO NOT PLANT IT ANY DEEPER THAN IT ALREADY IS IN THE POT
