Planting depth and mulch placement are among the most important—and most commonly overlooked—factors affecting the long-term health of trees, shrubs, and perennials.

This publication explains how to properly plant containerized and balled-and-burlapped (B&B) plants for proper mulch placement, while maintaining root flare visibility, and preventing mulch volcanoes. Topics include root flare identification, planting depth recommendations, proper mulch placement, and important considerations when planting balled-and-burlapped trees and shrubs.

Includes original diagrams illustrating two correct planting methods and guidance based on horticultural best practices to help improve plant establishment, reduce long-term problems, and promote healthy root development.

Intended for homeowners, landscapers, and anyone interested in planting correctly from the start.
