Tree Care: Planting
Balled and Burlapped Trees
Typically large (1”-3” caliper), grown in the ground in a nursery and dug, preserving a “root ball” of soil that is wrapped in burlap and secured in a wire cage.
Container-Grown Trees
Trees that are grown in individual containers (pots, root trapper bags, etc.).
Bareroot Trees
Bareroot trees are similar to Balled & Burlapped trees, except they are transported from the nursery without any soil.
Right Tree, Right Place
It’s important to consider location and tree size when planting a tree to avoid interfering with overhead and underground utilities or building structures.
