Most tree problems start on planting day. This topic hub focuses on choosing the right tree for the right place, preparing the site, and giving young trees what they actually need—not just what the tag says. We look at root flare depth, hole sizing, staking, mulch, and watering practices that support strong, stable growth.
You’ll also find region-aware guidance, especially for tough urban and Colorado-style conditions: compacted soils, heat islands, reflected light, and limited space. Instead of “plant and hope,” these guides walk you through a simple plan for helping a new tree establish and transition into low-maintenance adulthood.
