PLANTING AND CARE 
To plant these small trees, use a trowel or shovel and make a hole large enough to ac¬ 
commodate the roots when they are well spread out. Put a little water in the hole, pack the 
earth around the roots, keeping them well spread. When the hole is filled, pack the earth 
down firmly so that no air can get to the roots to dry them out. Be very careful between 
the time you receive the trees and the time you plant them not to let the roots dry out. 
Dry roots are always fatal to an evergreen. If you are planting the trees in your garden to 
let them grow a few years before putting them in their permanent locations, keep them about 
a foot apart. If you are not ready to put them in their permanent location at the end of two 
years, be sure to transplant them again, placing them two feet apart.
