Tips For Plant Conifers
Plant your conifers as soon as possible after you
receive them. Open the outer packaging and remove
the conifer (or conifers). If you are not able to
plant immediately, leave in the packaging and
place in a cool, light, frost-free place, out of
the sun. But do not leave in the package too long
as they will deteriorate.

not dry out. If there is a risk that this may

the conifer in a bucket of water. Leave it there
for quite some time so the soil is moist.

Dig a planting hole at least twice the width of

planting hole, cut the burlap away from the trunk
and pull it carefully from under the roots. Then
fill in the hole with soil.
