Make sure the top of the root ball is level with the ground.Backfill the soil: Fill in the hole with soil and gently pack it down to eliminate air pockets.Water the tree: Give the tree plenty of water, making sure the soil is thoroughly saturated.Mulch the area: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree, but make sure to leave a few inches between the trunk and the mulch to avoid rot.By following these steps, you can help ensure that your tree has the best chance of survival and growth.
