Instructions Dig a spot in the ground three times wider than the pot of the plant.
Dig the hole only as deep as the container. Set the pot in the hole to test the depth. Lay a broom handle or a wooden dowel over the hole underneath the tree to see if the soil surface in the plant's container is even with the ground. Dig or fill the hole to the appropriate level. If soil is inferior, add sphagnum peat or compost.
