Outdoor Planting Care Guide
1. Unpack Promptly
Remove any fabric sleeves, tape, or ties.
Water thoroughly and allow your plant to rest for a few days.
2. Select a Site
Choose a location with appropriate sunlight, spacing, and good drainage.
3. Dig a Wide Hole
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.
4. Mix with Meaning
If incorporating cremation ashes, blend them first with the Treebute® organic soil blend as instructed, then combine with native soil.
5. Plant with Care
Position the tree with its root flare level with the surrounding soil.
Fill the hole with your blended soil mix and native soil, gently tamping as you go.
6. Water Thoroughly
Water slowly and deeply to settle the soil.
Continue watering deeply once per week during the first full growing season;
Increase to twice weekly during hot or dry weather.
7. Mulch
Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.
Mulch helps conserve moisture, regulate temperature, and reduce weeds.
