HEELING-IN STOCK TEMPORARILY 
Dig a trench sufficiently deep and wide to receive 
roots and at least a third of the top without crowding 
or breaking roots. Lean the stock bundles or trees at an 
angle, as shown in the cut, to save extra digging. Fine 
soil should be used so that the roots can be packed well 
to prevent air-pockets and drying out. Water when the 
ground is dry and heap the soil well about the stems of 
the stock. If trees or shrubs are to be heeled-in over 
winter, they should be well covered and all packing ma- 
terial removed to prevent mice from nesting and dam- 
aging stock.
