Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread roots and deep enough so the root collar is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system.
