This was wonderful! Wish I’d seen it years ago! Thanks.

I thought the previous video said that you were not supposed to add organic material to the hole because that would discourage the tree from growing it's roots outside of the hole. Would sawdust work as well as wood chips? Our neighbors have some sawdust, but not wood chips.

Before you ship the trees/bushes, etc.. do you balance the roots with the top branches or is that something we should do before we plant? I only have some currents on order and don't know if the pruning part applies to them.

Thank you for the video. What kind of mulch do you use?

Have you ever tried deep pipes?

[@randyemiller1132]

Great video, Thanks.
So you don't ship to MN until the end of May ?

[@RaintreeNursery]

Thanks Randy! Shipping times may vary to due to many factors including weather, availability, and how many orders have already been placed.

Can you use cedar and/or pine or fir chips to mulch fruit trees and berries?

[@RaintreeNursery]

Cedar is a no-no, it contains oils that will retard or even prevent root growth (nature is hardcore). Pine and fir is acidic, but most fruit trees (especially apples) tolerate it just fine.
