Most of the regions in the United States have the official tree planting day in January. It tells you that even the governing authorities pay close attention to tree planting. It reminds all of us of the need to go out there and plant, trim, prune, and remove some trees.

However, you have to make sure that you are doing everything right. It explains why we have professional arborists in each state. These experts are licensed to help you with planting and taking good care of your trees. It is advisable to choose a reputable brand like Palm Beach County Pro Tree Trimming and Removal Team to help you out.

Even a simple exercise like tree planting comes with several challenges. You may find yourself making several mistakes if you don’t have the right training to handle this task.

There are various prime times to plant trees, depending on your location in the United States. However, most tree professionals find January to be the best time for planting trees. Shade trees typically ‘take’ the best in the winter and autumn.

However, if you mix this with faulty tree planting practices, it can end up in a disaster. After planting, you also have to take care of the follow-up care. If you avoid some of these tree-planting mistakes, you will create a gorgeous landscape in your home. Here are some of the things you need to pay close attention to while planting trees in your landscape.

Select the Right Trees

Some people may think that this is obvious advice. However, planting the wrong trees or poor-quality trees can be very detrimental. You need to remember that not all the trees that are available for sale in your region are of good quality. A tree can flourish in one state but fail to perform well in another country.

Watch out for any bark damage on the young trees or plants that grow out of the container. If you notice some of these red flags, you need to avoid buying such trees.

Also, you have to ensure that the tree that you choose will thrive in your local environment. Think of mature height, and spread, and ensure that you have enough room for the tree to reach its maximum potential. The other things to check include the drainage of the soil, exposure to shade or sun, and soil PH. It will make sure that the trees are a perfect fit for your location.

Dig the Right Depth

Planting your trees too deep can lead you to so many problems. Therefore, you should aim to have the top of the root balls level with the grade. You shouldn’t bury the lower section of the trunk in the soil. The other tip is to employ a light touch with the mulch. Applying too much mulch is a similar mistake to overly deep planting. The mulch should be approximately three inches below the canopy. However, avoid shallow tree planting because exposed root balls will dry out within no time.

Just the Correct Width

When planting trees, the width of the hole should be two to three times that of the root ball. Roots don’t grow down but outwards, and hence you need to provide them with a fighting chance. A width that is so narrow or too wide will make your tree struggle while growing. It will ultimately lead to weak trees that will not survive.

The last thing you need to check for is if there are any root-bound trees. You have to free such seedlings before planting. As you finish planting the tree, use the same soil that you dug out to fill the hole. Do not modify the backfill with compost or backfill.

It can lead to so many issues when it comes to water migration. You also need to follow the watering and pruning needs of the specific tree species. Besides, resist the temptation of over-trimming the tree. The tree has several challenges when you have to uproot it to allow it to start over again.
