Bare Root Planting Guide

• Do not allow the roots to dry out.
• Conversely, do not keep the roots soaking in water for more than a few hours.
• Keep the plants in a shady spot until planting.
• Dig a hole twice as wide as the roots and deep enough to accommodate all the roots without crowding them.
• If your soil is less than ideal (heavy clay or light sand), add a soil amendment, approximately 2 parts native soil to 1 part amendment.
• DO NOT USE REDWOOD COMPOST OR MANURE. These additives may cause burning.
