How to plant a tree
Carefully follow these nine steps to help your tree establish quickly in its new location:
1. The trunk flare is where the trunk expands at the base of the tree. Ensure trunk flare is partially visible after the tree is planted. Remove excess soil prior to planting if flare is not visible.
