Attachment 7 is an instructional diagram illustrating proper and improper techniques for planting bareroot trees. The image provides a comprehensive visual guide with nine different scenarios, categorized as either "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory" planting methods.

The diagram highlights critical planting errors such as incorrect tree orientation, planting depth, hole size, root placement, and soil conditions. Unsatisfactory planting scenarios include trees planted too deep, with roots improperly exposed, in narrow or shallow holes, with "J" or "L" shaped root configurations, in rotton wood, or with compacted roots. The satisfactory planting examples demonstrate proper vertical positioning, root spread, and placement in mineral soil, serving as a technical reference for landscaping and forestry professionals to ensure successful tree establishment.
