Unit 6: Tree Planting and Care- Root Washing
Depending on the type of tree you are planting, root washing can be an important preparation step before putting it in the ground.
Trees Virginia would like to thank TinyBull for the production of these videos.

This is the best video I’ve found on root washing, root pruning, gurdle elimination and planting. Wow, thanks!!

Such important information! Thank you so much for sharing such sound advice. I have had to do the same with most container trees I plant. Super important at the time of planting to remove problem roots and expose the root flare. Always a bummer to see trees that have been planted too deep or have mulch volcanos covering the root flare :( Thank you again for sharing and educating people. Such a great video! ❤
