• Be sure to handle the stock carefully so the roots and branches are not broken, and the trucks of trees are not scraped.
• Try to avoid walking or climbing on top of the nursery stock that remains stacked in the truck.
• Avoid grabbing B&B or potted plants by their tops. Handle only by their root balls or pots.
• Do not drop B&B or potted plants. More often than not, this “pounding” loosens the soil in the pot or breaks the soil ball and damages the root system.
• Heel in all plant material and water immediately.
• Prior to planting B&B trees, thin out the crown of the tree to prevent excess die back of remaining branches.
