STEP 3

Planting

Plant your trees immediately to make sure they grow healthy and strong. Call DigAlert at 811 for more information on where to plant. It’s best to plant trees to the West or East of your house, between 15-20 feet away from your foundation. This will cool down your house in the summer and can even save you money on your energy bills.

STEP 4

Enjoy & Care for Your Tree

Once your tree is planted, it will need 10-15 gallons of water once a week for the first 3-5 years while its roots get established. A little effort now will pay off big in the future!
