your videos are really great. so well put together and so well informed, but i wanted to mention to you that there have been studies now that have shown that scoring the sides of the ball like that doesn't work. like a branch it only causes them to fan out which causes them to continue circling around.
@@Leaflimb yeah really cool stuff. Iv been experimenting with it for the better part of a decade and have found come to the similar conclusion. I can't find the study i read (since its been years) but i like what this guy is saying from UMN Urban Forestry. ruclips.net/video/UnGD0JDAfas/видео.html
I really like how you made this 20 min, lots of tips and knowledge shared in here. It's a nice experience doing it all by hand, and allows time for thought and connection that makes for a good planting. As well, a small backhoe makes this type of work really efficient especially in hard rocky soil, or doing multiple plantings. Renting one for a day or hiring an installer can save a lot of time and back! It's fun to imagine the possibilities of a landscape, and adding pits/mounds/swales and dimension to a space while planting, to work with the water flow and make for a more diverse and lower maintenance area. I'm excited to learn more about companion plantings among trees too, which can aid in soil fixing and even on the spot mulching through pruning the support species.
Honestly, not seeing any roots on the side of the pot at all, makes me wonder if the grower up-potted it and the roots on the sides are growing in circles from the old pot. The tree just seems too big to not have roots showing on the sides of the pot.
What is the difference between pouring wood chips and mulches around a planted tree? I though mulches are good to keep the soil moist. Also, how often should I water a new planted tree in the first year? 2nd year?
We recommend arborist wood chips because they don't have any dyes or additives that mulches can have. Yes they do a wonderful job keeping the soil moist. You will need to water it every 2-3 days and give each plant at least 10-15 gallons of water per week. We cover more specifics in this article and video: www.leaflimb.com/proper-care-new-trees/
Absolutely amazing! Never met another so detailed step by step guide, with full explanation of each step. Thank you very much
This is gold. Thank you!
Excellent video! This is a great refresher video and great one to share with others.
Thank you, Excellent
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!.
I liked how you incorporated biology into the planting. Helps to bring a conceptual understanding of why we do it!

This sounds really interesting, we would love to learn more! Could you send me a link?

Unrelated to trees, but that is a great knife. I lost my 530 a few years ago.
It's hard not to love a Benchmade! Good eye.
Thanks for the explanation on living soil!

The tree just seems too big to not have roots showing on the sides of the pot.
This could be case, and if so you want to make sure you cut and break up any circling roots so the tree can better establish.
