How to Care for a Newly Planted Tree

Regular care helps your tree establish roots and thrive for years.

• Water regularly: Young trees need consistent watering, especially in hot, dry weather.
• Clear the base: Remove grass and weeds to reduce competition for water and nutrients.
• Mulch properly: Keep a mulch ring around the tree, away from the trunk and bark.
• Protect the tree: Avoid damaging the trunk with lawn equipment or compacting soil around its roots.
• Be patient: Ongoing care helps trees develop strong roots and mature healthily.
