Preparing and Planting a Container Grown Tree

Containerized trees are readily available at garden centers, are relatively easy to plant, and, with proper care, can be planted year-round. Containerized trees, however, can contain root defects that are not always easy to see. Fortunately, most root defects, with careful inspection, can be identified at the nursery before purchase or corrected at planting. Since a healthy root system is essential to nutrient and water uptake and structural support, ensuring good root structure at planting leads to optimal tree growth and health. In this video, Liza Holmes shows viewers what to look for in a healthy containerized root ball, how to prepare the root ball for planting and then planting the tree. Liza addresses circling and girdling roots and proper planting and mulching depth. Liza Holmes is a Research Technician at the Bartlett Tree Research Lab in Charlotte, North Carolina.
