How to Plant Evergreens:
- Pick the Right Spot
Consider mature size, sunlight needs, and spacing for proper growth. - Dig a Proper Hole
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. - Prep Your Soil
Remove half the soil and replace it with our Garden Soil or Land & Sea Compost to improve nutrients and drainage. Mix in Holly-tone® so roots grow strong and plants establish quickly. - Plant with Care
Set the plant so the root ball is level with the soil, then backfill with amended soil. - Water & Mulch
Water deeply after planting and apply mulch to retain moisture and protect roots.
How to Care for Evergreens:
- Feed for Strong Growth
Use Holly-tone® in Spring and Fallto support healthy growth. For arborvitae and boxwoods, use Plant-tone® since they do not require acidic soils. - Watering Tips
Keep soil consistently moist during establishment. Water deeply, especially during dry periods. - Prune as Needed
Light pruning helps maintain shape and remove damaged branches. - Protect Through Seasons
Maintain mulch and water well before winter to help prevent stress.
