This bulletin furnishes information about selecting and planting trees. The tree selection process includes being aware of the physical characteristics of bare root seedlings, containerized seedlings, balled and burlapped, or potted trees and determining the proper size and root ball proportions. The section on tree planting discusses how to: (1) handle the young trees; (2) plant bare root seedlings; (3) avoid transplant shock; (4) determine proper planting depth; (5) and plant burlapped or potted trees. Tree care suggestions include advice about watering, pruning, fertilizing, staking and mulch. A discussion on community forestry cites national needs for community trees, provides advice about municipal contractual arrangements with nurseries and additional guidelines for long term care of city trees. A vignette provides information about Arbor Day. Additional sources of information about trees and conservation are described on the back cover of the bulletin. (MCO)
