  1. Proper Planting and Pruning Techniques for TreesPresentation by: Eva Monheim emonheim@temple.edu Faculty member at Temple University in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture and Oak Leaf Productions GWA9/12/20010

  2. Sources for Tree Information • www.ISA-Arbor.org • Cooperative Extension in Your State • Clemson – “Planting Trees Correctly” • Ed Gilman – University of Florida • Virginia Tech • US Department of Agriculture

  3. Planting Balled and Burlapped, Bareroot and Container Trees http://www.wildbirds.org/oaks/oaks.htm

  4. Planting Balled and Burlapped Trees http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/components/DD7415b.html

  5. Tips for Planting B and B Trees • All ties, burlap and wire cages should be removed • If the tree is too large to remove the entire cage, remove the upper 1/3 to 2/3s of the cage – use tin snips for removal – roots of trees are usually found in the upper 24-36” of the soil • Back fill the hole with soil that is unamended

  6. Never put mulch up against the trunk of trees like volcanoes. This causes problems with the bark and encourages adventious roots which weaken the original root structure.

  7. Drawbacks to Planting B and B Trees • Balled and Burlapped trees lose 50-80% of their root systems when dug from the nursery • If the root flare is buried in the nursery, more roots are lost • Takes one year for every each of caliper for the roots to re-establish themselves after they are dug

  12. Planted to Deep – Root Flare is Buried

  13. Planting Bareroot Trees http://www.learn2grow.com/gardeningguides/trees/planting/BareRootTrees.asp

  14. Tips for Planting • Bareroot stock maintains ~90% of the root mass • They are light to move and/or carry • They need a smaller hole than the B and B tree

  15. Backfill with unamended soils and make sure the root flare is level with the nature soil line • These trees only need to be staked if they are in areas where there is a great deal of foot traffic and activity • All new plantings should receive one inch of water per week during establishment ~10 gallons for a smaller tree

  16. Place the Roots on a Mound and Spread Them Out – Then Backfill http://www.learn2grow.com/gardeningguides/trees/planting/BareRootTrees.asp

  17. Drawback to Bareroot Trees • Small window for planting in the spring and fall of the year when plants are dormant • Root systems need to be dipped in hydro gel to keep them moist until planting • Need to have enough volunteers or staff for planting large quantities

  21. Tips for Planting • Make sure to check that there are no circling roots to cause girdling • Make sure that the root flare is at ground level • Backfill with unamended soil

  22. Drawbacks to Container Trees • If the trees have been growing to long in the container – their roots may be to girdled

  23. Girdled Roots and Buried to Deep

  24. Things Not to Do

  25. Healthy Root Flare

  26. Pruning Reasons to Prune • Three Ds • Damaged • Diseased • Dead

  27. Understanding Tree Anatomy

  28. Branch Anatomy

  29. Tree pruned outside branch collar

  30. Pruning Cut Should Look Like a Donut When Healing

  31. Improper Pruning Drawing by Eva Monheim

  32. Proper Pruning • Leads to an overall healthier tree • A tree that will withstand storms better • Gives the tree the opportunity to have a long and happy life – well beyond our lifetime

  33. If Your Tree is Planted Right and Pruned Properly the Tree Will Live for Generations
