You can lime as needed though to maintain a proper pH. A tree has only one set of the small tender leaves a year but get five to 20 sets of the small feeder roots. Encourage these by not digging under the tree or piling soil on the roots and by regular watering Often tree decline and death is due to poor soils or care. Always dig very wide planting holes and plant no deeper than the plant originally grew. I like to plant into beds like we put flowers in. This gives the tree lots of soft soil to root into, Mulch well and keep foot traffic and vehicles out of the area.
Trees are a big investment of time and money.
Unlike a lawn or flower bed, they often cannot be replaced. Protect your investment with proper planting and care. You can also send e-mail .
