Have you noticed large trees planted that never develop any growth or vigor for years and years?

This session will introduce how important site, soils and planting hole preparation is.  One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of tree planting, as my old friend used to say, ‘Better to plant a five dollar tree in a ten dollar hole, than a ten dollar tree in a five dollar hole.’
