SCARIFY SIDES OF PLANTING HOLE

UNDISTURBED SOIL

AFTER PLANTING, REMOVE BURLAP FROM TOP 1/3 OF ROOT BALL AND REMOVE ALL TWINE

AND NAILS. CUT AND FOLD DOWN WIRE BASKET SO THAT THE TOP OF WIRE IS 12" BELOW

SOIL SURFACE.

PLANTING DETAIL : BALLED AND BURLAPPED TREE

Scale: N.T.S.

USE 2" STAKE AND SECURE INTO FIRM SOIL.

TILL SURROUNDING SOIL 24" BEYOND PLANTING HOLE TO A DEPTH OF 12".

AMEND WITH ONE PART EXISTING SOIL AND ONE PART ORGANIC MATTER.

PRUNE TO REMOVE BROKEN, DAMAGED OR DEAD BRANCHES ONLY

STAKE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY, SEE GENERAL NOTES.

EXCAVATE PLANTING HOLE SO THAT TOP OF ROOT BALL IS 2" HIGHER THAN FINISH

GRADE

2-3" LAYER OF MULCH. DO NOT PLACE MULCH WITHIN 3" OF TRUNK. CREATE 2"

WATER SAUCER WITH SOIL.

DIG PLANTING HOLE 3 TIMES THE DIAMETER OF THE ROOT BALL. BACKFILL WITH A

MIXTURE OF ONE PART SOIL FROM PLANTING HOLD AT ONE PART APPROVED

ORGANIC MATTER. PLACE MIXTURE AROUND ROOT BALL INLAYERS, TAMPING TO

SETTLE MIX AND ELIMINATE VOIDS AND AIR POCKETS. WHEN PIT IS APPROX.

ONE-HALF BACKFILLED, WATER THOROUGHLY. REPEAT WATERING UNTIL NO MORE

WATER IS ABSORBED. WATER AGAIN AFTER PLACING AND TAMPING FINAL LAYER
