This can make any newly transplanted specimen tree absolutely almost guaranteed to survive and it will certainly look great year after year and thrive as part of your landscape. These guidelines are something it is advisable to read before you let your landscaper, garden center, or tree nursery sell you anything.
1) Do not plant the tree to deep. Trees need oxygen just like you or I do, when you pile extra dirt over the roots you are lowering the quantity of oxygen that will go to the roots. Some trees are more sensitive to this than others; Maple trees are highly sensitive to being planted to deep. It’s better to plant one or two inches above ground level and mulch around it.
2) Do not pile mulch or dirt around the trunk. Many parts of the tree are intended to stay under the ground and certain areas are meant to be above ground. When you pile a bundle of mulch or dirt all around the trunk you are putting a section of the tree that was supposed to be above ground, below ground. This will induce the trunk to decay and your freshly transplanted tree to die. Mulch surrounding the tree but leave about one inch separation between the trunk and the beginning of the mulch
3) Please do not let the rabbits kill your tree. Rabbits happen to be my arch enemy when it comes to trees. In the winter, when they get hungry and there is very little to feed on they will resort to taking the bark off your tree. They will chew on a nice ring all the way around your tree, killing your specimen tree every time. Nurseries, Garden Centers, Tree Farms and Landscapers, will not warranty a tree that has animal damage. Put a piece of corrugated pipe surrounding the bottom of the tree for the winter to keep the critters away.
4) Purchase some root stimulator with Mycorrhizal Fungus in it. This fungus thrives in nature where there is a true underground ecosystem. The fungus attaches to the roots and produces nutrients and moisture to the tree. There is a symbiotic relationship between the roots and the fungus. When you grow a new tree there is not any of this fungus in the ground because the fungus needs to be joined to the roots of a tree for it to live. The bottom line without getting in too much detail is, get it, it works! Utilise it in the spring for most beneficial outcome. You can make use of this on your plants as well; give your entire landscape a little lift for the season.
5) Too much water will kill your tree just as easily as too little water. There is no hard and fast rule on how much to water, still, you cannot afford not to water your tree wrongly. This is the number one reason new trees die.
