Planting bare-root trees is a straightforward process. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots without crowding them. Position the tree in the hole so that the root flare (where the roots meet the trunk) is at or slightly above ground level. Backfill the hole with soil, gently tamping it down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly and add a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
