How to Plant Trees and Shrubs 
Dig generous sized holes with perpendicular sides (never 
saucer shape). Put the good dirt to one side so that you can 
use it around the roots. Loosen up the soil in the bottom of the 
hole. Set trees one or two inches deeper than they stood in 
the nursery; set shrubs at about the same depth they stood in 
the nursery or slightly deeper. Spread roots out naturally end 
work soil over and around them. Keep putting in good dirt 
until the hole is nearly full, tramping the dirt firmly about the 
roots. If the ground is dry, pour if a bucket of water. Finally 
fill up the hole with loose dirt. At planting time all trees and 
plants must be pruned if best results are to be expected the 
first year. If shrubs are heavily branched, cut out a few whole 
branches at the base.
