Modifying the backfill with amendments is Excavate soil on top of the root ball to expose trunk flare. Then not recommended as establishment problems can occur if the soil dig the planting hole only deep enough so the trunk flare will be at textural differences are great . If the soil is poor, modify a larger ground level . It is better to plant shallower then deeper as long as planting area rather than just the planting hole . the top of the ball and roots are protected with a mulch . Mulch the top of the planting hole with 2-3 inches of material . Do not Dig the planting hole 2 – 3 times as wide as the ball . mulch too thickly and pull the mulch away from the base of the plant . Do not disturb the bottom of the hole . The plant should be placed on a solid base so it won’t settle from its own weight resulting in Containerized Plants deep planting . Digging deeper will not improve drainage . Remove the plant from the container . Untie the rope from around the trunk and remove . Do not plant root bound plants . Remove the burlap especially if it is plastic or treated to delay rotting . Don’t plant too deeply! The root flare should be at ground level. Untreated degradable burlap could be left on but it is better to remove Slice the sides of the root mass in several areas from top to partially or completely to expose the trunk flare and correct any bottom to reduce circling roots . Tease the roots away from the girdling root issues before planting . If left on, be sure to loosen the top media.

After the water drains, completely fill in with cut away with bolt cutters . soil and water again . Mulch with 2-3 inches of material . Do not mulch too thickly and pull the mulch away from the base of the plant . Post Planting Care Mulch around plants to protect the root system and conserve soil moisture . Do not plant grass around the root system . Mulched plants develop more roots and establish quicker than those with grass planted up to the trunk . Pruning at the time of planting should be limited to removing such things as broken branches and diseased . Removing too many live branches can delay establishment and growth . Trunk wrapping, which is often done to newly transplanted trees to protect from sun scald, has been found to increase the incidence of certain borers such as dogwood borer and ash borer . Eggs are inserted under the wrapping, which protects the eggs and , thereby increasing survival . Also, canker diseases might develop if moisture builds up between the trunk and the wrapping . If used, trunk wraps should only be used during the season you are trying to protect the trunk and then removed . Always wrap from the bottom up and loosen accordingly as the trunk grows in girth .

On a scale of 0 to 14, a pH of 7 .0 is neutral, below 7 Dolomitic limestone MgCO3 119 the pH becomes more acidic while above 7 soil becomes more Calcium oxide, quicklime, burned lime CaO 179 alkaline . Generally, ornamental plants grow best between pH Calcium hydroxide; hydrated or slaked lime Ca(OH)2 136 5 .5 and 7 .5, with some preferring the lower end of the range and Marl CaCO3 70-90 others the higher end . Plants grow better when planted in a soil Basic slag CaSiO 60-90 at the optimum pH for the plant species. The soil pH influences 3 the availability of the various mineral elements needed for plant CCE = Calcium Carbonate Equivalent growth . Maximum availability of most plant nutrients occurs at approximately 6 .5 . Soil pH is regulated by the amount of bases Common Conversion Factors: (calcium, magnesium, and potassium) relative to the hydrogen ion CaO x 1 .79 = CaCO3 concentration present in the soil . In areas like Long Island, the soil MgO x 2 .50 = CaCO pH is normally low (acidic) due to the parent material from which 3 MgCO3 x 1 .19 = CaCO3 the soil developed . Applying lime increases the soil pH . Overtime, Ca(OH)2 x 1 .36 = CaCO calcium and magnesium levels decrease due to plant uptake 3 and leaching from precipitation and irrigation causing the pH to CaCO3 x 0 .56 = CaO become more acidic . Always take a composite soil sample and CaCO x 0 .4 = MgO have the pH tested . 3 CaCO3 x 0 .84 = MgCO3 CaCO x 0 .73 = Ca(OH) Lime Products 3 2 Agricultural limestone is a term used for types of lime used in MgO x 0 .602 = Mg agriculture including calcite, or dolomite, calcium oxide, and MgCO3 x 0 .288 = Mg calcium hydroxide .

The The amount of lime required to effect a change in pH is ENV can be found on the package of lime . determined by the texture of the soil, type and purity of lime used, and particle size . The Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE) is a Soil texture also affects the amount of lime required to change the measure of the capability that the liming material can neutralize pH . Finer soils or soils higher in clay require more lime to effect a acid compared to pure calcium carbonate . Even mined calcite change in pH than coarser soils . will not have a CCE of 100% . Pure dolomitic limestone has a CCE of 119% or has 19% more neutralizing power than calcium carbonate . Calcium hydroxide has a CCE of 136% .

These elements Nitrogen Calcium may originate from the atmosphere or the soil and roots take Phosphorous Iron up most of them . Currently, seventeen essential nutrients have Potassium Manganese been identified. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are provided by Magnesium Zinc carbon dioxide and water while the other 14 are taken up from Sulfur Copper Chlorine Boron the soil . Macronutrients are required in higher concentrations Molybdenum than micronutrients by plants although concentration does not determine essentiality . Correcting a Nutrient Problem The growth of a plant is determined by the most limiting factor . Classification of macro and micronutrients and These growth factors include nutrients, light, water, temperature, chemical abbreviation CO2, and O2 . The ‘law of the minimum’, as it is called, can be looked at in the context of nutrient management . The level of nutrients ELEMENT in the plant tissue partly determines plant growth . As the nutrient level increases from a deficient level, plant growth increases. At Macronutrients Abbreviation some point, plant growth levels off even if nutrient levels continue Nitrogen N to increase . This area where above adequate nutrient levels exist is Potassium K also called a ‘luxury zone’ . Increasing the nutrient supply does not Calcium Ca increase plant growth and eventually can negatively impact growth Phosphorus P when elements are in excessive amounts . In addition, excessive Magnesium Mg amounts of fertilizer, such as nitrogen, can increase certain insect Sulfur S and disease problems . Nutrient management should be approached Micronutrients with this in mind . Once maximum growth is realized, additional Iron Fe fertilizer only wastes money, can increase plant problems, and Chlorine Cl causes environmental pollution . Manganese Mn Although roots can selectively take up nutrients, too much of Zinc Zn one can affect the uptake of others . In other words, it is not the Boron B Copper Cu absolute level of nutrients that is important but the ratio among Molybdenum Mo them . Toxicity symptoms of one element might actually be Nickel Ni expressed as the deficiency symptoms of another. Plants can be healthy even when the nutrient supply is low as long as the levels are balanced . Nutrient Mobility in Plants Before fertilizing to correct a deficiency, it is important to correctly Nutrients move through the plant by way of the vascular system – identify the deficient element. Deficiency symptoms can differ xylem, where movement is up and phloem where movement can among plant species therefore it is difficult to provide descriptions travel in two directions (bi-directional translocation) . The degree of symptoms that would apply to most plants . When confronted with to which a nutrient is mobile, or capable of being retranslocated a potential problem, foliar and soil testing are advised to determine in the phloem from one part of the plant to another has an effect if a deficiency exists. Be aware that environmental and/or certain on the location where deficiency symptoms appear. Highly mobile pest problems could directly or indirectly cause a nutrient deficiency elements (see below) can be translocated from older leaves to symptom . In these cases, correcting the growing conditions or younger leaves to satisfy the higher demand for the nutrient in managing the pest problem is the best course of action, as applying a fertilizer will most likely not correct the problem . Some nutrient the growing parts if the element becomes limiting in the soil . This deficiencies, such as iron and manganese, are due to elevated causes the deficiency symptoms to first appear on older leaves. soil pH, which makes the nutrients unavailable for plant uptake . Elements with intermediate or low mobility cannot be remobilized Adjusting the soil pH is the best method for correcting these types of and moved from older tissue to actively growing areas thus nutrient deficiencies for the long term. deficiency symptoms appear on younger plant parts.
