Central Chapter: Proper Tree Planting, February 23
Proper Tree Planting and Maintenance Techniques
sponsored by Indiana Native Plant Society Central Chapter
Planting and caring for a tree is not simple if you want it to survive and thrive into maturity. The focus will be on different types of planting stock, choosing good stock at the nursery, and then describe or demonstrate how to dig the hole and then plant the three primary types: stock balled and burlapped, containerized, and bare root trees. Participants will also learn how much water it takes for a new tree, types of mulch, how to mulch, fertilization do’s and don’ts, and even a bit about post planting care. Participants will know how to plan for planting and the right way to plant at the end of this lecture.
Program will be held on Sunday, Feb 23rd at the Pike Branch Library 6525 Zionsville Rd. Indianapolis 46268. Starts at 2pm. Open to members and non-members.
