Planting and Aftercare of Community Trees
This 53-page resource is designed to explore the many challenges associated with planting and establishing trees in built landscapes. The publication begins with an in-depth examination of urban soils and proceeds to site modification for remedying compacted and degraded soils, as well as the use of engineered soil. The next section focuses on selecting the right tree for the site, as well as quality nursery stock, shipping, and storage of plant material. The tree planting section explores proper tree planting techniques, as well as plantings in sidewalk cutouts, raised planters, and methods to prevent tree roots from interfering with sidewalks. The aftercare section of the guide discusses proper mulching, staking, watering, fertilizing, and training pruning, which are critical for the survival of newly planted trees in urban and suburban landscapes. Â
