2. How do I plant a tree?
 Giving your trees the right care from day one is essential for long life and health. This means taking the time and care to plant a tree properly.
   The most common mistake when planting a tree is digging a hole, which is both too deep and too narrow. Too deep and the roots don't have access to sufficient oxygen to ensure proper growth. Too narrow and the root structure can't expand sufficiently to nourish and properly anchor the tree.
   As a general rule, trees should be transplanted no deeper than the soil in which they were originally grown. The width of the hole should be at least 3 times the diameter of the root ball or the container. This will provide the tree with enough worked earth for its root structure to establish itself.
   When digging is poorly drained clay soil, it is important to avoid 'glazing.' Glazing occurs when the sides and bottom of a hole become smoothed forming a barrier, through which water has difficulty passing. To break up the glaze, use a fork to work the bottom of the hole slightly higher than the surrounding area. This allows water to disperse, reducing the possibility of water pooling in the planting zone.
   After planting a tree, build a 4-inch tall berm around the edge of the hole. Fill the berm with a mulch (shredded bark mulch or compost) The mulch and berm make it easier to water the tree.
   For most trees, staking is not recommended. However, if the tree trunk is not sturdy enough, use two stakes, one on either side, and give the trunk suport for the first year.
