The snow is melting, our cool season grasses are showing signs of life, and the aspen trees are breaking dormancy — all signs that we are making the turn and spring is around the corner. This has me looking forward to some of my spring tasks, and tree planting is one of my favorites.
I recently attended a lecture at a horticulture conference where the presenter was explaining ideas for tree planting. Parts of the lecture I was able to relate to, based upon my own experiences and what I have learned. But some other ideas left me scratching my head. Has my tree planting been less than ideal the last 20 years?
And so. down the rabbit hole I went, researching and evaluating tree planting techniques.
