Trees are an integral part of our home landscapes and neighborhoods.
Planting trees can literally help us to set down our roots at a home. However planting trees properly is crucial to the long-term survival of the tree.

The root collar is the area where the roots meet the trunk commonly identified by a flaring of the trunk.
