Wondering the best way to plant tree seedlings for the upcoming season? Here are a few tips to follow to get your seedlings to grow big and strong!
Watering the roots
It is important not to let the roots dry out while digging. Otherwise, the tree may not grow at all. Make sure the root ball is soaked so it doesn’t reject water from the surrounding soil. Adding algae products can help seedlings avoid transplant shock and promote root growth!
Soil preparation
When you start planting a tree seedling, you need to make sure the hole is large enough about 2 to 3 times the diameter and no deeper than the root ball to allow the tree room to settle and grow. You may need to loosen some dirt from the root ball to ensure proper placement. Once the tree is in theground, fill the back of the hole with the original soil to help the seedling acclimate.
Seedling aftercare
You might think fertilizing your seedlings right away would help, but hold off for about a year. This also applies when pruning or topping seedlings.
Some general aftercare tips to consider include:
✓ Avoid excessive pruning after planting tree seedlings as this can cause starvation and
structural problems.
✓ Use stakes and wide straps to guide the tree’s growth and remove them after the first two growing seasons.
✓ Keep the soil moist so that the seedlings have enough water and nutrients.
Planting tree seedlings is a great way to protect the planet and reduce energy costs. When planting tree seedlings this spring, take care to keep them happy and strong by following these guidelines.
