Best time to plant is now, in the Fall!

1. Pick a spot: Your tree seedling needs a place where it gets sunlight and has space to  grow: Backyard, Public or Private forests.
2. Watch the roots: The roots must go straight down into the ground. If you can’t dig that  deep you can trim the roots. The roots below ground should be longer than the height  of the seedling above ground. 
3. Dig a hole: Plant the seedling using a shovel or a planting bar. Make sure the hole is  deep enough for the roots to fit straight down without bending.
4. Cover the roots: For the seedling to grow, soil must touch all the roots. After the hole  is filled, lightly stomp the soil.
5. Give it water: Seedlings need water to live, just like we do.
6. Mulch: A light layer of mulch, such as wood chips, around the seedling helps keep  water at the seedling’s roots.

Watch it grow!
