Planting a Tree Correctly

Many organizations worldwide are telling people to plant trees. But, can anybody plant a tree?

Incorrect planting procedures, and planting the wrong tree in the wrong place have caused a multitude of tree problems worldwide. It is not only bad that money is wasted for the purchase of the tree, but it is sad when the dignity of the tree is destroyed as it wanes and dies standing in place.

How do you avoid these mistakes? Well, if correct planting procedures are not known, then they should be planted under the supervision of a tree care professional who understands how to plant correctly and proper placement. And, after planting, a continuing health care schedule should be maintained.
