HEELING-IN STOCK 
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 drawing, 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 material removed - 
to prevent mice from nesting and damaging stock.
