Hilltop Gardens

Dig Right In Dig the hole twice as huge but just as deep as the root ball. It is very important not to plant the tree too deep. The top of the root ball should be even with ground level. Some trees will benefit from being planted slightly above ground level (1-2) Handle with Care Take care not to drop the tree/root ball and break it. This can damage the root system and harm the tree. After you set the tree in the hole check to make sure there is no twine or rope wrapped around the trunk. If so, cut it so it does not restrict the trunk. Burlap may be left in place and should decompose within a year.
