Dig your hole twice the size of the top half of the tree or shrub root ball, or till in organics 6 to 10 inches deep if you are planting a new bed.
DON’T plant too deep, and never deeper than the original plant root ball.
It is better to keep ball a couple of inches above the ground.
Mound the amended soil up to the top of the ball covering all side roots.
Never put soil on top of the original root ball. It puts the root too far below the top of the soil, just like planting too deep!

Be sure when buying a plant, you know the sun direction you are planting it in and check the tag for the plants need.

Also, look for the Hardy Zone.

Plants in this area do best if they are tagged for Zone 1 to 6.
If you plant a Zone 7 plant, be sure it is protected from the winter winds.

Zone 8 plants won’t live in this region.
