Some people say the hole should be dug nice and large to make it easy for the roots to spread. Others say that is the old philosophy--they say that now the trend is to plant trees in holes only slightly larger than their container since the tree has to live in the local soil, it needs to begin working at that. Ack! What should I do? Teresa |
