    Informative video. Just received our crab apple tree. It’s a lot thinner than the ones you’ve planted. Does it need more support?

      Thanks! Some people do prefer to double stake in more exposed sites but if it is not too windy, one should be fine.

    I've got 2 trees coming today, but it's frosty outside -1. Can I still plant them?

    Who is this person? I’m only one minute into the video and already saw several mistakes. You never add compost when planting a tree, you want to encourage the roots to seek out and look for nutrients rather than having a buffet available at the root tips. You don’t aerate the soil underneath the tree because that’s gonna lead to compaction and especially if it’s a Tree on a root stock, that’s gonna sink down and smother the trunk. And that’s just one minute in…

      Even if it would work, see anyone doing that to plant 200 trees or more 🤪🤣

      @@pietsnot7002 This video is not for people who plant 200 or more trees, it's for gardeners planting a few in their own gardens 🤪🙄
