Following these planting instructions is vital to the success of your cedar
trees and must be followed to insure the two year guarantee. If you choose to have us install your
trees then you will not have to worry about this information. These instructions are primarily for
the cedars received by mail order.
- Dig a hole 2-3 inches deeper and wider than the root ball of your cedar tree that you receive from us. We recommend using a rototiller to break up the soil and to dig a trench for the trees.
- Fill the hole or trench with 2-3 inches of peat moss.
- Turn on a hose to fill the hole or trench with water. This is to force the air out.
- Put the root ball into the hole or trench and position the tree the way you want it to stand.
- Cover the root ball with soil and gently, but firmly, pack the soil around the tree with your feet.
- Place another 3-4 inches of peat moss around the tree.
- Set up a soaker hose and water for 2-3 hours in the early morning and evening for the first 2-3 weeks. Continue to water the tree during dry periods for the first 2 years.
- In the Fall add additional mulch around the tree.
- Trees don't need additional fertilization beyond the peat moss mulch. Five months after installation you may add
© Miracle Gro plant food 15-30-15 and/or bone meal to enhance the growth rate.
