Necessary Care In
Transplanting Trees
0
Now is the season when our at
tention is being focused on grow
ing trees and plants. Nature is
again husbanding all her energy
to the task of reclothing trees,
shrubs, and flowers in a fresh garb
of green. Early spring marks a ^
period of intense activity for the
forester, orchardist, gardener, and
people in all walks of life who are
interested in plants. According to
H. Y. Forsythe of Aiken, District
Forester with the State Forest Ser
vice, the following simple sugges
tions may be of practical assist
ance to those who are planning on
transplanting trees or shrubs.
1. The hole should be dug wider
and deeper than the tree requires.
—It is the root tips which are the
feeders and, especially the small-
rootlets. They cannot readily
penetrate through a hard wall of
soil. The first year is the critical
one.
2. Place only rich surface soil
about tne roots.—Soil removed
from the lower part of the hole is
harder and does not contain so
much plant food.
„ _ . , . 3. Set the tree on a bed of mel-
„ I*. low soil, with all its roots spread

out naturally.—Roots which are
curled or cramped in the hole can
not function properly.
4. Remove as large a root system
as possible with che tree you dig.—
The roots should not be ripped or
tom from the ground, but removed
carefully by digging around them
with a* spade or mattock. A trans
planted tree needs all its roots for
proper anchorage, and the securing
of nourishment.
5. Tom or broken roots should be
trimmed with a sharp knife.—The
damaged ends of roots should be
removed with a clean, slanting cut.
