What is your experience planting trees?
• Have you observed trees planted that didn’t thrive in the first few years?
• Did you feel confident that there was clear reasons for failure?
• What are some of the reasons you think trees fail?

Steps for proper planting1. Assess the Site
Soil, water, microclimate, space available.
• Test soil for texture (sand, silt, clay) and chemical properties (salinity, pH, nutrition)
• Test for adequate drainage.

Steps for proper planting1. Assess the Site
Soil, water, microclimate, space available.
Exotic and native plants can each find a home in a landscape when customized to the site conditions and microclimates.

Irrigation Setup
• Emitter spacing and irrigation frequency varies by soil type
• 1 emitter = 5’dia wet in clay soil
• Create a maintenance plan that schedules irrigation adjustments
