o Wide range of tools needed for the

array of planting materials such as

seeds, bedding plants, groundcovers,

trees and shrubs of all sizes

o

Tools required depend upon theplant type and size

o Hand tools must be supplemented

with power tools when plant

materials increase in size

Hedge Shears

o Best season for transplanting depends upon type of

material being planted

o Prime objective: to transplant at a time that will permit

good root growth before shoots and leaves developrice

PART FOUR



The Soil for Installationo New research suggested use existing soil at the transplant site

was the best backfill to use

It did not encourage the roots of the transplant to remain

within the pit of conditioned soil rather than sending roots into the less than ideal soil of the planting site.

Break lumpiness with a hoe or cultivator

Have stones and other debris screened out



• Soil conditionersPlants with different soil environment(Difference in pH or drainage

• Blended backfillContainerized plantings have noexisting soil

• Artificial soil mixesInterior plantings

• Expand planting pitsUnsuitable natural soil

Exceptions to Backfilling

BARE ROOT ED PLANTS

Installed in planting pits that are

flat bottomed ( for plants with a

tap root) or mounded ( for plants

with a spreading root system)

Ex:

1. Fibrous, Spreading root

system

2. Tap root system



(1)

(3)

CONTAINERIZED PLANTS

– plants that stayed

in the container too long, causing

roots to grown around themselves

Solution

Roots should be cut every 2

inches



(1)

(2)

(3)

Large trees and Shrubs

o Commonly burlapped/balled at

time of harvest

o Not removing the rope or

twine could result in

of the plant

o Girdling prevents nutrients

from moving from the roots

to the canopy of the plant,

causing it to starve and die

Additional preparation:

• Identification and location of

• Flat bottomed to allow plant ball to rest on a

solid base

• Pit Width: twice as wide as soil ball on

compact soils: 3 or more timesBACKFILLING:

• Backfill meets both soil ball/roots of transplant

of sides of planting hole

STAKING AND GUYING

• Large trees• Trees with weak trunk

• Trees with transplanted in highwind locations

• Stabilization of large trees and multi-stemmed plants

• For large trees: underground anchor

Installation:

1. Prepare bed not individual holes

2. For large areas: lessen soil with

garden tiller and incorporation of

necessary herbicide - reducemaintenance requirements



(2)

(1)

(3)

Spacing• Depends: upon species

• Speed of coverage

Care

• Through watering after planting

• For groundcovers: mulching (to reduceweeds)

• For bulbs: rich, well-drained soil plant in

flower beds/borders/containers or

masses in lawn. Planted at different

depths/spacing and species



(3)

(2)

(1)

• Flowering bulbs require a rich,

well-drained soil.

• T hey are planted in flower beds

and borders, in containers, or as

masses in the lawn.

• They may be gently tossed by

the handful

into open, turfed lawn areas to be

planted

wherever they land, in an irregularly

spaced pattern

• Bulbs are planted at differing

depths and spacings,depending

upon their species.



PART SIX



o Application of loose aggregate

materials to the surface of a

planting bed

peat moss, wood chips, shredded bark,

chipped corncobs, pine needles)

• reduce soil moisture loss

• often contribute slightly to soil nutrition

• may alter soil pH

• are not a mowing hazard if kicked into the lawn

• may be flammable when too dry

• may temporarily reduce nitrogen content of soil

• require replacement due to biodegradation

• may support weed growth as they decompose

• reduce soil moisture loss

• do not improve soil nutrition

• seldom alter soil pH

• are a hazard if thrown by a mow

• are non-flammable or fire-resistant

• have no effect upon nitrogen conte

• do not biodegrade

• may retain excessive amounts of s

PART EIGHT



Organic matter must b to improve soil structu

retention capab

Recessed plating bed (serves as catch basin)

• 4 inch organic mulches( slow moisture loss)

• Trunk wraps/whitewash and cool root environment

• prevents sun scald/water loss

1. Mark and orient north side of a cactus, a thick layer of

protective tissue develops on the either side (southern)as it withstand sunlight.

2. Then trench and uproot the cactus

3. Powder sulphur after brushing soil from roots

4. Before replanting put in a shaded area, cactus should

be plant in a well-drained soil

5. Lastly, apply water at monthly intervals



PART NINE



• However, technique & location difference creates another problem

• Rootball diameter should be 2 feet greater than trunk.

• Local industries must be consulted for geographical considerations



Installation

Large palms – moved with a tree spade

Smaller plants – with ball carts or carried at root ball

Care

Palms – same depth of field or container kept well

watered, mistedStaking is often needed to stabilize transplants

Hot and Dry Conditions

Tied fronds: most of the first season

Support stricture: up to a year
