Method - Prepare the site.
- Dig a hole deep enough and wide enough to contain the tree's roots easily, and without any restriction.
- Trim back any damaged roots to healthy growth.
- If using a stake, hammer it in just off-centre of the planting hole (on the windward side). The stake should be no higher than a third of the tree's height.
- Lay a cane across the hole to indicate the soil surface. Place the tree into the hole and position it so that the darker soil line on the stem (showing the depth it was planted at the nursery) is level with the cane.
- Spread out the tree's roots, and then partially fill the hole, shaking the soil down between the roots.
- Gently shake the stem up and down to settle the soil around the roots.
- Continue filling the hole, firming the backfilled soil in stages. Take care not to damage the roots.
- When the hole is filled, tread the soil down firmly, then water well and mulch the area around it to conserve moisture.
- Secure your tree to the stake using tree ties . Check the ties regularly, and loosen them as the trunk expands.

Method - Prepare the site.
- Dig a hole twice the diameter of the root ball, or three times the width in heavy, clay soils.
- Mix the removed soil with well-rotted organic matter.
- Place the tree in the hole at the right depth and then untie the hessian or netting surrounding the root ball.
- Tilt the tree to one side and roll the wrapping material up under the root ball. Then tilt the tree the other way and carefully pull it out.
- If using two stakes (one on either side of the root ball) or an angled stake, hammer them into the ground. They should rest firmly against the root ball without piercing it.
- Backfill the hole and firm well. If you are planting in heavy, clay soils, improve drainage by making sure that the top of the root ball is slightly above soil level. Cover the exposed part with 5-7 cm (2-3 in) of friable soil, leaving a gap of 2.5-5 cm (1-2 in) around the stem.
- Water the area thoroughly and mulch.

 Pots and other containers are a great way to display trees on a patio or a rooftop garden and are very useful for growing species that prefer a different soil type from that in the rest of your garden. They are also excellent for tender trees that need to be brought under cover in winter. Method - Use a container that has a depth of at least one and a half times the tree's root ball and a diameter of between one sixth and one quarter of the tree's height. This will supply the tree with a good reserve of moisture, an even soil temperature and plenty of space for the roots to develop.
- Clean any old container out well with water to remove any disease-causing organisms.
- Cover the drainage holes with broken crocks and then add a further layer of broken crocks or coarse gravel to a depth of 2.5 cm (1 in).
- Add some loam-based potting compost enriched with a slow-release fertilizer.
- If using a stake, insert it into the pot before adding the tree.
- Fill the container with soil, firming it gently. Take care not to damage the roots.
- Water thoroughly.
- Make sure that you keep the tree regularly watered, as it will dry out very quickly in hot weather.
