Planting Instructions For Leyland Cypress and Green Giant
Arborvitae
-
Upon arrival of your order, open box and unpack, standing trees
upright, then water.
-
Prepare holes by mixing 1/2 humus to 1/2 native soil, if your soil is
good nothing is needed, if very poor add more. The Leyland Cypress has
a small root system, dig your hole larger than the root system to be
planted. The loosened soil will allow the new root system to grow
faster giving your new tree a better start. If planting in clay soils,
best to dig your hole several feet deep, back filling with good soil,
this will help with drainage.
-
Plant your trees at the same depth as
they were growing before. Press soil firmly around the roots. As you
go along, stake & loosely tie trees in straight vertical position
with Bamboo Stakes.
-
When finished planting, water your trees with a
solution of Root Stimulator and fertilize with time release
Osmocote 15-9-12 plus minors 8 to 9 month or 12 to 14 month. For
improved growth, (up to 3 times the growth) use Weed Barrier ground
cover & mulch.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
DO NOT FERTILIZE LEYLAND CYPRESS
WITH GARDEN FERTILIZER, (6-6-6, 8-8-8, 10-10-10, and
16-4-8 LAWN FERTILIZER) THIS CHEAP FERTILIZER WILL INJURE OR KILL YOUR
TREES. USE ONLY TIME RELEASE, WATER SOLUBLE, OR ORGANIC FERTILIZERS.
Most of these are mild and non burning. Very safe to use and the
nutrients are more readily available to your trees, providing you with
a faster and healthier growing tree.
Water your newly planted trees 2
or 3 times a week until established. This usually takes 6 to 8 weeks
in warm weather longer when cold. When soil temperature falls below 50
degrees all root development stops. Use some common sense when
watering, all soils are different, you only need to keep the soil
moist, not wet. More trees are killed by over watering than under
watering.
RECOMMENDED FERTILIZER RATES
Water soluble 20-20-20 and 21-7-7 acid formula, use 1 to 3 teaspoons
per gallon of water, fertilize 2 to 3 times per month.
Time
release fertilizers use 1 to 3 tablespoons per tree (liner) as tree
grows increase amounts. Apply once a year.
