Spacing for Shelterbelts

Depending on the type of tree, the spacing for large trees such as Northwest and Okanese poplar should be about 8’ apart or

far enough apart to allow equipment to pass easily between the trees. The spacing for narrow poplars should be about 4-6’.

Planting Instructions Check your planting location for drainage before planting. If drainage is poor, fix this first.

Dig a hole that is about twice as big as the pot or root ball. Remove plant from container. Place the plant in the hole and fill

in around the roots by using a mixture of 50% peat moss and 50% good garden soil. When refilling the hole, be sure to pack

the soil in around the roots, leaving a small basin shape for holding water. At this stage, it is important that a root starter

formulation of fertilizer be used (i.e. Root Booster 5-15-5). If a stronger formulation is used, damage to the roots may occur.

The use of manure at this stage is not recommended because root burning may occur. Trees should be planted with the graft

at ground level. Trees should be staked or braced for the first year to prevent high winds from loosening them.

Watering Instructions One of the most important aspects of home gardening is proper watering. Water is vital throughout a plant’s life, but it

matters most during its first days planted. If newly planted trees and shrubs are not watered, they will dry up and die. Until a

plant has been in the ground for a few years, its root system is too shallow and it simply does not seek the moisture that the

plant needs.

Water all newly planted plants daily until fall, every other day after that. A depression at the base of the tree allows for

water retention. If the weather is very hot and dry, water all young trees, shrubs and perennials that were planted in the

previous 2 or 3 years. Lawn sprinklers rarely give enough water to penetrate to the deep roots. Water thoroughly when the

top 2 or 3 inches of soil around the tree is dry. Very heavy clay soils require less watering and lighter sandy soils will

require extra water. Deep watering with a root feeder or a drip irrigation system is very effective.

In late fall, water all plants thoroughly before the ground freezes. It is best for plants to go into winter with a block of ice

around their roots. This will allow the plant to have moisture around the roots as the ground thaws in spring.

Wrapped Roots (Ball & Burlap)

Some trees are prepared for transplanting with a root ball which is retained with burlap and string. Lift the tree by the root

ball only and lower it into a hole which is wider and deeper than the root ball. The ball should be 2" below grade. Do not

remove burlap as it will quickly decompose. All plastic strings should be cut away from near the trunk.

Pruning Prune shade trees in early spring to promote new growth. Remove all dead, broken or diseased branches and all branches

growing at very acute angles to the main stem. Make all pruning cuts flush with the parent limb and never leave a stub.

**Exceptions - Maple and Birch trees should only be pruned once leaves are fully open in order to prevent excessive sap loss

(late June).
