Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right site for my trees?
There are many factors when choosing a site to plant
a new tree. Some of these include exposure to sunlight, importance
of soil, overhead cable or power lines.
-
Exposure: The amount of sunlight and the
time of day the sunlight is received can be important to your
new tree. Though all-day sun is required by some trees, it can
be too intense on some sites where heat and light are reflected
from nearby buildings or pavement. An area with morning sun and
afternoon shade often provides adequate sunlight and protection
during the hottest part of the day for your new tree.
-
Soil conditions: This frequently limits
planting success. Planting methods should be adjusted to fit
soil types. Poor drained, clayey soils, typical or modern urban
developments, require procedures much different from the
well-drained, friable (crumbly) soils found in older
neighborhoods.
-
Look up: Looking up at any nearby cable,
power lines, roof tops, or other trees will help you choose a
tree that is suitable in height for this planting location. If
the mature height of the tree is not suitable, it may be
recommended to choose a smaller tree or choose a different
planting site on the property.
-
Look around: Looking around at the
properties nearby house, other trees, or fences will help you
choose a tree that is suitable in width or spread when mature.
If the mature spread of the tree is not suitable, it may be
recommended to choose a smaller tree or choose a different
planting site on the property.
When does my new tree need to be fertilized?
Fertilization should be delayed until a season or two after your
tree is planted. It is unlikely that any lack of nutrients is
limiting the growth of the tree immediately after planting. Drought
and stress are probably the most limiting factors for your new tree.
What is the most common problem with tree survival after
planting?
By far the most common cause of tree failure after planting is lack
of water. Most do not appreciate either how much water a new tree
can use during hot weather, or how easy it is for the rootball to
dry out in a matter of hours. Immediately after planting the only
water available to the tree is contained within the rootball.
What is your guarantee?
We will replace and
replant your tree within the first year
one time if for any reason your new tree does not
survive--no questions asked. The replacement tree must be the same type
and size as the originally-purchased tree, and planted in the same
location.

"Treeplanter.com has worked at our residence
planting 15 trees. When finding trees for our property, Jason was
quite persistent in locating trees that met his high standards. Once
the trees were planted, Jason was diligent in following up time and
time again to ensure the health of the trees. After two years, the
trees are growing wonderfully.
I highly recommend their services, and refer them when I have the
opportunity."
