Watering
Planting
The best times to engraft are leaping and declension , when grease is feasible and out of peril of frost . Fall plantings have the reward that roots can develop and not have to vie with developing top growth as in the bound . Spring is more suitable for perennials that dislike wet precondition or for cold arena , set aside full establishment before first winter . Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants , unless planting a more established sized plant .
To plant container - grown works : Prepare planting holes with appropriate profoundness and space between . Water the plant thoroughly and rent the excess water drain before carefully remove from the container . Carefully loosen the root formal and place the works in the hole , working soil around the etymon as you fill . If the plant is extremely rootage bound , freestanding root with fingers .

Create a water ring around the outer edge of the yap . Not only will this conseve water , but will channelise moisture to perimeter roots , encouraging outer ontogenesis . Once tree is establish , water ring may be leveled . Studies show that mulched trees grow quicker than those unmulched , so sum a 3 " " level of pinestraw , compost , or pulverize bark over backfilled area . Remove any damaged limbs .
