  2. Dig a shallow, broad hole 2–3 times wider than the root ball.
  3. Remove any wrapping to encourage root growth.
  4. Position the tree at the proper height, avoiding too deep planting.
  5. Verify the tree is straight from multiple angles.
  6. Pack soil around the root ball firmly.
  7. Stake if necessary, ideally with three stakes.
  8. Mulch around the base, avoiding direct contact with the trunk.
