PLANTING TIPS: - The Planting Hole: Getting the hole right in terms of depth and size is a critical step for the survival of your tree.Step 1. Ensure the depth of the hole is equivalent to the depth of the root ball and NO deeper. Planting in a hole that is deeper than the root ball depth can lead to slow growth development, diseases and even death of the plant.Step 2. Ensure that the diameter of the hole is no less than three times the diameter of the root ball, especially in compact soils.A larger hole (in terms of diameter) with sloping sides will create a greater volume of loose cultivated soil that creates aeration which allows for good water penetration for rapid and healthy root growth.
