It’s been a long time coming but I finally planted my free ! It’s been sitting inside and occasionally it dried out too much so the newer leaves are a little sad. If you haven’t planted yours - and this goes for all trees you plant - scrape away the top layer of soil to be sure you are not covering the base/root flare. Since mine has been indoors for a bit, I’m keeping him in a semi shaded spot until he’s acclimated. The plan is to give him a few months and plant him in the yard this fall when he’ll have more roots and be more likely to survive. Plus, fall is the best time to plant trees as they’ll have a few seasons to just focus on growing roots before they have to think about flowers and leaves and deal with summer stress.
How is your ? I hope we can get this hashtag going and check in with our trees every now and then! Tag so we can see how everyone’s tree is doing!
or does anyone remember which vendor was giving away the baby redbuds?
