In the above paragraphs you learned that Master Gardener plants have been exactly matched to their conditions and to home owner preferences. The adjustment may have be made a second time. Too low or too high are both bad. The point is Master Gardener takes the time and trouble to plant your plants properly. Also critical is water.
Water is added in around the root ball in the hole before soil is packed around.
In fact, with larger root balls, we alternately layer water and soil around the root ball packing the soil as we go higher with the soil. Master Gardener does not lose plants, period. Plants come to their new home in good condition and our methods actually improve each plant's new environment. Nobody is as fussy about proper planting as Master Gardener . For example, we love the Ylang-Ylang tree, cananga odorata.
