Place the container where you want to plant it and mark a wide circle that is 3-4 times the size of the container with your shovel. Digging a hole that is 3-4 times wider than the container means you can fill in dirt around the tree that the roots will be able to grow in. To allow for the roots to adapt and grow in the hole, it needs to have a layer of loose dirt around it. Use a shovel to dig down to a depth that will fit the container and slope the sides so that the hole is wider near the top. The top of hole should be at least 3 times as wide as the container so you can fill in dirt around the root ball. After you've finished digging the hole, use the end of the shovel to scrape the wall of the hole to make it easier for the roots to penetrate the ground. Make sure there aren't any smooth slopes along the walls of the hole. Scrape the bottom of the hole as well so the roots can slide through the soil more easily. If you see hard clumps of dirt in the walls or at the bottom of the hole, use your hands or your shovel to break them up. Air pockets can form in the softer dirt around the clumps and could cause the tree to settle unevenly in the hole. Pull out any rocks or sticks that you see as well.
