How Do I Plant a Tree In My Yard?
The most important factor to consider when planting your own trees
is climate. Young trees do best in neutral climates without any extremes. For
this reason spring is ideally the best time to plant new trees. The largest
mistake that homeowners make is digging a hole that is too deep and very
narrow. This will unfortunately ensure that your tree does not receive enough
oxygen. Subsequently the tree will never grow to its maximum health level, even
possibly growing deformities in structure. The width of the hole for the tree
should always be several times larger than the diameter of root ball. Following
the planting of your tree there are fertilizers that can be added to your soil
to facilitate the healthy growth of your young tree. Certain fertilizers exist
solely to promote the health of your roots. Specifically, mycorrhizal fungi are
a popular addition to any growing tree. The organic fungi is symbiotic and
promotes the growth of roots. Perhaps the greatest effect of these fungi is the
innate ability it has to combat other harmful fungus.
When planting your own tree its important to do extensive research
in the beginning. This is because in the beginning of the trees lifespan it
requires much deeper levels of care.
