THANK YOU! for showing the correct way to plant a tree. People all over the world -- including landscapers -- don't first identify the root flare and plant it a grade level, and then they volcano mulch it. It takes a landscaper less time to not identify the root flare, and then he sells you more mulch than necessary and piles it up around the trunk. Because the tree will wither, the landscaper can charge for telling you it was that freeze last year, or a bug from Madagascar, or the drought two years ago, or some other claptrap, when in fact the tree withers because of improper planting. Finally, the landscaper will sell you another tree when yours finally dies. .

Thank you for such a straight forward and informative video! I recently bought two trees for my backyard and was lookin' for good info on how to plant them :)

I dont know if ill ever plant a tree but now i know i could do it 😁 I LOVE your channel

Wow. I didn't know there could be inches of soil above the root flare of a tree in a container. Thank you!

Really like the video. Short, informative, and it aactually pointed out something that i am doing wrong.

Good video. I would add that it is wise to look for trees with root flares that are not buried deep in the pot before you make a purchase. Trees with buried trunks are prone to rot. Unburying the trunk may prevent this but too often the damage is done. The newly exposed trunk will crack and rot in winter. I prefer to tease out the roots with a hook and try to avoid cutting them.

You re amazing love how passionate u are ! Thank u

I am doing a thing with Roots Nashville getting free trees into neighborhoods I have shared this video with the folks receiving the trees because I appreciate how you not only show the steps but explain the whys. Thank you for educating us on proper gardening techniques.

@@WyseGuide I had a couple neighborhoods stop by today and mentioned how they had never heard of you but now are absolutely in love with you love the video and subscribed. If you aren't doing anything November 29th come to Nashville and join us for the distribution and planting. I can probably find an air b b in the neighborhood for free.

Excellent video!

Thanks for your video

This guy is fabulous!! 😊

Thanks for the info!

Great tree saving info, and funny too! Thanks. I will patrol the malls for volcano mulch!

I found your recent videos of cooking....now you're helping me plant some fruit trees haha

Great video! I mix about a third of the native soil with coconut husk. It holds more water and air than rockwool! I used to add compost too but now I am going to try to rely just on fertilizers. Which one is the best for fruit trees?

great guide

Cool video Watching from you Tucson

Remember that if you have 10mph wind or more, a tree with leaves of this size will flop over if planted in this way. You would want 3 posts, about 5ft tall and sturdy, with a couple thick rope loops going around the trunk from each post. Doesn't need to be super tight or anything, just enough to make sure it doesn't tip over.

Solid information.😎😎😎

Thank you.

You always have such wonderful and helpful videos. I’ve never seen one I didn’t like. 💛

i’m going to like you because you are teaching us how to make the earth good again

Ok, now I'm going to watch again. I was watching your dog 😊

Thanks for the info. My son and I watched your video and then headed out to the yard and knocked it out. Hopefully our new maple tree is happy.

Thank you. You’re awesome. How often does a tree need water after planting?

Once a week

The gardening vids are as good as the food ones.

The fertilizer that he used that "will not burn the roots" is: happy frog cavern culture fertilizer

Should I plant apple tree now in October or would it be better to wait till spring

September through February

Is the tree straight or did it change

I trust you but, wow, all the cutting away from the root ball and trunk exposing is shocking! I've never seen that done. In fact, it's been drummed into me that I should never plant above or below the crown. Given that, I'm one who would really benefit from and appreciate more guidance on this, for example, how can I tell if cutting is necessary? When have I cut away enough? Thanks for your great videos. I really, really enjoy them. ♥️🌼🌳

Look at trees in nature where the roots are at the surface. I cut away until you see where the main roots meet the trunk. That's what sits at the surface.

You don’t have bad weather in that area?

Brilliant and saving mall trees too 😂

Dude. You are very entertaining - "Obviously."

Is that tree a life or died by now?

??? yeah that was what i was gonna say
