Fifteen trees could cause climate change. Watch for the arrival of non-native species.

Hire a pro, this will give the trees a better chance to live . It goes way beyond digging a hole. Those big ones especially. However, if your a handy guy and strong in the back, it's a great project to tackle. 15 trees is a bunch.

15 maples and oaks are going to drop a ton of vegetation every fall and spring too. I like trees, but I wish I had considered this 15 years ago. At least 3 or 4 weekends a year are spent dealing with the maintenance.

Once those get established, you'll be losing sheep all the time. That's why you don't change the ecosystem.

How big are they?
I plant quite a few trees...and will be planting a lot more next year. I over-dig the hole and mix in some extra soil that is turned with some seasoned cattle lot manure. If your fertilizer is "too hot"....it will burn the trees and kill them. The other method I've used...and it works great on gardens....is to mix up some turd pudding....and pour some in the hole before planting the tree or a little around the top after completion of the planting. if animals are a concern, get some wrap to put on the base about 2-3' up. |
