The weather is cooling off and fall is here! Now is the time to install new trees and shrubs. The cooler weather in November and December allow the new plants to grow and become established before the heat of our Louisiana summers.
Tips for planting success: (see diagram)
1. Dig a hole only slightly larger than the pot.
2. Plant the tree or shrub a few inches above grade (ground level). Don’t plant it any deeper than it is in the pot.
3. Fill in and create a saucer around the plant with loose well drained soil.
4. Top dress with mulch or straw.
5. Water in.
