What are some ways to care for a new tree

There are many ways to care for a young tree to ensure its future health and success.  Some ways you may want to care for a young tree include:
 - Frequent watering.  The amount of water and frequency will vary depending on the tree and climate but frequent, deep watering is essential for early development.
 - Nutrients.  Fertilizers may aid in the early stages.  Be sure to read the manufacturers label and instructions before application.
 - Mulch.  Applying mulch to the base of the tree aids in weeds suppression and moisture retention. 
 - Remove nearby weeds/plants.  Weeds and plants can provide competition to your tree for important resources.  Remove any near the root system of your tree.

These are just some ways you can ensure a healthy start to your tree!
