Successfully planting a tree just requires a little research and understanding to help avoid these all-too-common mistakes:
- Planting the wrong species: Take the time to research which types of trees grow best in your area. Choose a tree that will thrive in your climate and type of soil.
- Not planning ahead: If you have allergies, avoid trees that will trigger a reaction. If your home has a small yard don't plant a tree that will grow too tall or too wide. Understand the maintenance requirements of the tree you are planting and avoid a species that requires more work than you're willing to commit.
- Planting carelessly: Avoid planting a tree in a location that will block traffic or is too close to the road or driveway. Don't plant a tree under a power line or close to a septic system. The growth of your newly planted tree may someday interfere with others' safety.
