Planting of trees step by step

Select the right tree for your location.
Use a tree that will grow well in your part of the state and make sure it has plenty of room — vertically and horizontally — for the canopy and roots to grow.
Dig the hole at least twice as wide as the root ball.
Dig a square hole no deeper than the root ball. This keeps the roots from settling to deep while still allowing them to penetrate the surrounding soil.
Fill the empty hole with water and check the drainage.
If it takes longer than 24 hours to drain, select another site. A tree will die if its roots are underwater for long periods of time.
Prune the tree sparingly and only if necessary.
Remove only dead, broken and diseased branches and roots that are crushed and girdling, or growing around the main stem. Removing even a small portion of healthy canopy actually slows root growth and delays establishment. A thoughtfully selected tree shouldn’t need to be pruned.
