Most landowners contract with a vendor for such tree-planting services.
The landowner who writes an adequate contract and then monitors the planting operation to insure compliance will most often be rewarded with a successful tree-planting operation. Contracts A written tree-planting contract protects both landowner and contractor from misunderstandings and possible lawsuits. Long-Term Storage Seedlings should be planted upon receipt, but poor weather conditions or unavailability of planting crews often prevent prompt planting. Slurry-type root dips or weekly watering of the root systems may extend warehouse storage up to 8 weeks if the seedlings remain dormant. Protect seedlings from heat and freezing temperatures during cold or warehouse storage.
