Plant your seedlings
- Ensure the risk of major frosts is in the past (tip: do not plant your seedlings until people in your community are planting their gardens).
- Extensive coverage
- Place the seedling in the hole with the stem standing straight up and with the root collar at ground level.
- Container stock: ensure that the plug is not bent or curved and that there is no space between the bottom of the plug and the earth below.
- Bareroot: ensure the roots are spread out and arranged in a natural downward orientation.
Water and fill the hole
- Moisten the soil and fill your hole back in around the roots.
- Press firmly on the soil around the stem.
- Cover the roots completely.
- Avoid covering the first branches of your seedlings.
Water the area
- Water thoroughly after planting.
- Take special care watering your seedlings in poorly drained soil.
- Do not over-water your seedlings. Stop before standing puddles form.
- Seedlings should go through a wet-and-dry soil cycle.
- Allow the soil to dry down before watering again.
Protect your trees from pests
Take special precautions to keep deer, rabbits, mice, and other pests away from your seedlings.
