Tips for planting a tree?

Depends on the tree type and how big it is. Most trees, if they’re seedlings or saplings over ‘ tall, should be planted immediately outside and not kept inside in a container.

When it comes to planting, late fall (October-early December) or early spring (late Feb-March) is ideal. Try to avoid planting after a hard freeze.

After you plant it, water it every day for about two-three weeks then every other day for about a year. After the first year, you can water about twice a week for another year, then weekly after that until the tree is established. SOAK WELL.

You haven’t said what the tree is, it’s size, or your geographic location. These all make a difference.

In general, plant in spring or fall (when there are more rains and less harsh sun). Choose your location carefully, not only for your wishes but also the tree’s needs (read instructions that come with tree or look it up online). Remember trees grow – this may sound obvious but a common beginner’s mistake is to plant it somewhere that works for it’s current size and won’t work in a few years after it grows. The roots will grow as large as the tree canopy, so keep this in mind when planting trees near a house or underground pipes. Tree roots can cause a lot of damage to pipes and foundations.

The first goal is to get the roots established. Dig the hole twice as large as the root ball. Don’t cheat! This is important as it loosens the soil around the roots and makes it easier for the roots to settle in. After you plant it, tamp it in by stepping on the loose soil around the tree. Some trees, like cherry, do better if they are staked in the beginning to prevent the tree leaning.

Water frequently and water deep. You need to water not only the tree, but where you hope the roots to grow. If you only splash a bucket of water on top then you are not watering deep. The roots then have no reason to go deep because the water is only on the surface. Root health and growth means the top of the tree can grow.

I’m not sure what you meant about planting indoors, but i wouldn’t. Most trees can be shocked by changes, and i think planting it more than once should be left to an expert unless you don’t mind risking losing the tree.

. First of all if you want to plant a tree inside your house you should really consider how big the tree is going to be once it is grown. You could plant it inside your house but while moving it to somewhere else it could get hurt and die. I would recommend you to plant it where you know that it is going to be there permanently.

. Again watering a tree depends on the type of the tree and the weather. You can water the tree every two days and make sure the earth it is planted in is moist and fertile enough for it to grow.

. The best time to plant a Tree would be the begining of spring.

Plant outside right now. Fall is the best time. It has root growth in the winter. No bugs and few diseases to fight. In January trim unwanted limbs. make sure soil at roots stays moist, mulch around tree as well. Use ropes stakes and rubber tarp straps. Found at truck stops to stake tree so it stays strait. Wind will lean tree. Dig hole to times larger than root sack. Remove root sack and wire that holds it in place .Removing wire is very important. Place in hole. Lightly fertilize as dirt is replaced. Use good soil around roots as you fill hole in. Or mix with potting soil. Water to times a week. Depending on rain. In dry area’s you may wish to water every day. Wet area’s you may not need to water at all. Buy tree’s miles north of your area for cold hardness. Or miles south of your area for heat hardness. If that is a concern.
