Planting Tree for Longevity

 

 

If you have a love for trees and you are looking forward to planting them, then you can give them a longer and healthier life by going through the following points.

The pre-requisite to plant a tree is finding the right place where you can plant the tree. Whether it is in your garden or surrounding your premises, before selecting a spot, check out the powerlines overhead. There should not be any kind of obstruction up to 10 feet over the expected height of the tree you want to plant.

Additionally, the shape of the hole will be like a saucer dish. If you are unable to dig a hole on your own then arboriculture consultancy in Mumbai can do the task for you. They also make sure that digging at any spot may not damage any underground utility lines probably laid out at the spot. Accordingly, they help in selecting the plant growing spot.

Take a sample of soil from the spot where you want to plant a tree and get it checked in the laboratory for checking the nutrient levels of soil.
