Planting Instructions

1. Dig in your native soil a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. We recommend planting in native soil for best acclimation.
2. Gently place the plant on its side and remove the pot. Place your hand on the bottom of the plant and put it in the hole.
3. When placing the plant in the prepared hole, ensure that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole and firm the soil gently to remove any air pockets.
4. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil around the roots and to encourage strong establishment.
5. Mulch 1–2” deep around the plant, avoiding the area closest to the stem.
