Planting trees in landscapes
Well executed planting projects start with appropriate design, site
evaluation and tree selection. Site
conditions and after care capabilities should dictate maximum tree size at
planting, root ball characteristics, and suitable tree production method. Tree selection includes choosing appropriate species for the planting site based on site evaluation. The nursery stock must be inspected carefully to pick the best quality tree. Many trees are planted too deeply so they perform poorly following
planting. Management of the landscape site in the early years following planting
will also dramatically affect establishment rate and success of the
planting.
