finished trees in fabric containers

Do not allow trees to grow too large in the fabric containers as shown above. The root ball is way too small to support this large top (note the dead tree on the left). Appropriately sized trees handled correctly have no problem surviving the digging process from in-ground fabric containers. However, taking freshly dug trees directly to the landscape almost never works because irrigation can not be managed correctly.
