New Trees

Last week I planted 40 new trees, most along my new fence line, some along the cedar fence to provide future hot tub privacy and block the view of the neighbors shed, and a few on city property, up on the easement area just to add some character. I did not know this for all my trees I had planted in the past, but when planting them, you should be cutting the root ball or shaving the root ball slightly on 3 or 4 sides so that the roots can spread and grow easier when you plant and not stay stuck in a round planter shape.
