How to Plant a Tree
1. Choose a proper location for your tree. Make sure there's enough room for when the tree gets big!
5. Add more soil and firm with foot.
2. Keep your roots moist at all times. Dry roots will kill your tree.
6. Put mulch (such as wood chips or pine straw) around the base of the tree.
3. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots apart.
7. Water regularly. Watch it grow!
4. Place the tree in the hole at the proper depth. Gently add loose soil.
