Planting Instructions: 
Trees and shrubs should be planted so that the roots will grow into 
good top loam soil. Dig the hole large enough so the roots will not be 
crowded. Take clay and bottom soil out of the hole and replace with good 
soil. Care must be taken in using fertilizer, both commercial and green 
barnyard, as it will burn the roots if put in direct contact. Usually it is 
better to mix the fertilizer with the soil above the roots and allow the 
rain to wash it in, or wash it in with a hose. Many people try to be too 
good to their trees and kill them with fertilizer.
