How To Heel-in Trees 
Unpack them without exposing the roots to the 
air longer than necessary. Dig a trench in loose 
soil 2 feet wide and 14 inches deep. Cut strings 
and put the trees in side by side and cover the 
roots with fine earth, being careful that it is well 
filtered in among the roots to keep them moist. 
Water copiously when the trench is half full; fill 
trench to same depth as trees stood in the nursery 
row. Lean trees toward south-west.
