If constitute a balled and burlaped Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , lay it in hole so that the best side faces forward . Untie or remove nails from burlap at top of glob and extract burlap back , so it does not lodge out of hole when dirt is supplant . Synthetic burlap should be remove as it will not disintegrate like natural burlap . bigger trees often come in wire baskets . Plant as you would a b&b plant , but slew as much of the wire aside as possible without actually removing the basket .

make a water supply doughnut around the outer border of the mess . Not only will this conseve H2O , but will direct wet to perimeter roots , promote tabu growth . Once tree diagram is plant , water mob may be level . Studies show that mulch tree diagram get faster than those unmulched , so tot up a 3 " " bed of pinestraw , compost , or pulverized barque over backfilled area . Remove any damage limb .
