PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time

Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball.
Mix compost or organic matter into the excavated soil.
Place the plant in the hole with the root ball level with the soil surface.
Backfill gently and firm the soil lightly.
Water thoroughly after planting to help the plant establish well.
