It's Easy to Plant your Drought Tolerant Evergreen

Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Drought Tolerant Evergreen. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Tree
Next, separate the roots of your Drought Tolerant Evergreen gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Drought Tolerant Evergreen again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Most useful customer reviews (Drought Tolerant Evergreen Reviews):
By: James C
I got three of these as a replacement for three Thuja Green giants that did not make it through the hottest dryest summer in over 50 years in Texas. I planted in the fall and they did great this summer which was almost as hot and dry as the previous summer. They grew 2 feet and are much thicker than when I got them. I also bought a couple of these that were 6 feet tall from a local nursery and planted at the same time. The smaller 4 feet trees I got from fast growing trees established and started growing faster. The bigger trees froh the nursery are growing now but they set there doing nothing through much of the first year. Excellent tree for South Central Texas
