Planting Instructions

Follow the instructions below to ensure that your new sapling is planted correctly.  Provide a layer of mulch, 1-3 inches deep and 1-3 feet wide, around the base of the tree and in the shape of a donut. Mulch should not be in contact with the tree trunk. Water your new tree every week, especially during periods of excessive drought and heat.  

More information on tree care and maintenance available at the Missouri Department of Conservation website.
