Tree Planting Tips: How to Plant a Tree in Northlake

If you want to plant trees in Northlake, Texas, follow these guidelines or use experts from J Davis to do the delicate task.

  1. It's best to pass on trees with a V shape or multiple trunks and those with wounds, weeds, or roots growing out of the pots or containers.
  2. Pick an ideal place. Pick a spot that can accommodate the tree's mature size, which will vary by species. Being familiar with things like underground pipes and power lines is a must. With some forethought, you can maximize your tree's aesthetic value while also lowering the risk of future problems that could jeopardize the security of your home's landscape.
  3. Dig the hole as deep as the root ball is high and as wide as the root ball. This prepares the ground for your tree's roots and breaks up compacted soil for more manageable root growth.
  4. When placing the tree into the hole, lift it with the root ball instead of the trunk.
  5. Check the tree's symmetry before returning the native soil to the hole. To facilitate root system establishment, the native soil should be kept moist.

 

New Tree Watering With J Davis in Northlake, TX

Watering is essential for newly planted trees and shrubs because their root systems need more water to become established first than older trees' root systems.

When you plant new trees, give them plenty of water. Water them every day for the first two weeks after planting, then every two to three days for the next 12 weeks, and finally once a week for the final 12 weeks until the roots are fully established.

For more information on how to water your tree, check out our blog post, or contact a J Davis ISA Certified Arborist.
