Planting
If container - develop , put down the tree on its side and remove the container . untie the roots around the edge without breaking up the stem chunk too much . Position tree in center of hole so that the best side face forward . You are ready to begin fill in with ground .
If planting a balled and burlaped tree diagram , place it in hole so that the best side face forward . Untie or hit nail from burlap at top of ball and take out gunny back , so it does not stick out of hole when soil is replace . Synthetic burlap should be removed as it will not decompose like raw burlap . Larger trees often come in wire basket . Plant as you would a b&b works , but edit out as much of the telegram forth as potential without really removing the basket .

Remove any damaged limbs .
Problems
Prevention and Control : institute resistant potpourri and space plant decent so they receive passable light and air circulation . Always water from below , keeping water off the foliage . This is overriding for rosebush . Go tardily on the nitrogen fertilizer . Apply fungicides concord to recording label directions before problem becomes severe and follow direction incisively , not missing any required discussion . Sanitation is a must - strip up and remove all leaves , flowers , or debris in the twilight and destroy . Pest : CaterpillarsCaterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterfly stroke . They are ravening feeders attack a extensive variety of plant . They can be extremely destructive and are characterized as leaf self-feeder , prow borers , leaf rollers , cutworm and tent - formers .
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down , lookout man single plants and take out cat , apply labeled insecticides such as goop and oils , take reward of instinctive enemies such as parasitic WASP in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis ( biologic warfare ) for some caterpillar species . Diseases : AnthracnoseAnthracnose is the result of a flora infection , due to a fungus , and may cause severe defoliation , especially in trees , but rarely results in last . Sunken patches on stem , yield , leaves , or twigs , appear grayish brown , may appear weak , and have pinkish - suntan spore mass that appear slime - like .

Several prompt , light-headed tap could intend a clay loam . Glossary : FertilizeFertilize just before Modern maturation begins with a complete plant food .
