Choose a site with well-drained soil and adequate space for its mature size. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, position the tree at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist during the first few years to help the tree establish a strong root system. Once established, American Beech is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells. Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches, as the tree naturally develops a pleasing shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live American Beech bare root plant, 1-2 feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776263520566,"sku":"FOLIA-487","price":83.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6657948939_rc7e.jpg?v=1792468556","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/american-beech-tree-1-2-ft-live-bare-root-plant-zones-3-9","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
