I was taught the same planting techniques so after watching this vid I feel much better about how I teach my employees to plant correctly.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video. When setting the depth of the hole to give you 1" above grade after installation, do you consider how much you have to subtract to expose the root flare?
this is really interesting . I have to dig my tree back I did not removed the balled burlapped on it, it has been 2 months now is it safe to dig it and removed it?
So re. replacing the soil around the new tree, you recommended to only replace 10% of the old soil with new high quality soil like compost. Is this correct?
If you're amending all the soil go nuts and put as much nice soil around the tree as you like. However, if you're only going to amend the soil in the hole stay with 10% high-quality compost or cow manure.
When I've planted B&B I've noticed the shrubs or trees are often in clay which is very different from the glacial till soil in my area (Washington State) Why are so many B&B's in clay? I usually root wash so there is no integration issues with the local soil. How would you handle this? Thanks for the thoroughly accurately informative videos!
Most trees in Washington state are grown in flood plane soil which is very high quality for growing trees. To dig a tree in glacier till is very difficult to get a quality root ball, hence the use of the river bottom silt.
Yes, you can even leave a little along the sides at the bottom if necessary. You will end up doing more damage than good to either the tree or your back if you try to monkey around and remove it all. Remove as much as you can though, it takes a little longer but the tree will appreciate it and grow much better in the long run.

Thank you very much for this video. I was looking for how to plant a large tree and your video gave me all the information I needed.
I know I am kind of off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online?

Thanks for posting this great video
Great video. This is also how I was taught except the "well" part. I'll be adding that to my list though! Sharing this with my employees. Thanks!
I hope your crew enjoys the video(s).
Thank you for the video. When setting the depth of the hole to give you 1" above grade after installation, do you consider how much you have to subtract to expose the root flare?
Yes, for trees I usually place the top of the ball about 2-4 inches above grade because I know I'm going to scrape off 1-3 inches of soil.
@@CTSCAPER Thank you very much.

+Ralph Dobson Thank you Ralph for explaining why river bottom silt is used in Washington State.
so the burlap under the tree can stay there?

Do you still make videos??
