How to Plant a Tree
The rules for tree planting vary by climate, but the basics are the same. While the nursery you purchase trees from should have some instructions, it’s always good to double check with other experts before proceeding. The Virgina Forestry service offers some good information on planting a variety of trees depending on how they were packaged for delivery from the nursery, including balled and burlapped trees, bare-rooted trees, and container trees. Before you start digging a hole in your yard, review the steps on how to plant a tree to make sure your tree gets a long healthy life.
