    Proper Care of Seedlings and Transplants

    Before planting- Keep your plants cool, shaded and moist!


    Post Planting Fertilizing:


    - Teaspoon is all you need
    - Apply at drip-line
    - Granular disperse away from plant stem
    - Tablet place 3-6" from stem
    - Seedlings and Transplants need a thorough soaking, especially following fertilizer applications, plan according to the weather

    ​

    Post Planting: Tree Tubes


    Tree shelters create a micro climate and speed plant growth by trapping moisture and thereby raising relative humidity and ambient temperature inside the tube. Field studies show an increased growth rate of 150% with some species. Tree shelters maximize seedling survival by protecting them from animals, wind desiccation, some weed competition, power equipment, chemical drift, small rodents and insects.

    Pruning:


    - Objectives will differ with age
    - Train trees at a young age

     

    Steps:
    1. Remove dead/diseased limbs
    2. Remove co-dominant leaders
    3. Establish a lowest permanent branch
    4. Select scaffold branches
