PLANTING AND CARE 
To plant these small trees, use a trowel or shovel 
and make a hole large enough to accommodate 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.
