How to Plant a Tree

Fall has arrived in New England! With the cooler weather upon us, planting season is in full swing. This week, The Garden Continuum demonstrates how to plant a tree. Check out the steps involved in the video below. We hope this season leaves you time to think about your own yard and what changes you want to make to it. Whether you planting trees, shrubs or transplanting perennials, Fall is the perfect time to plant!

Remember to dig your hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the proper height

Keep the holes partially backfilled during your project so you can easily fill the hole with water

Finding the right height is very important. See the flare on this tree? The tree is sitting at the perfect height in relationship to the surrounding bed.
