How to Plant a Tree: A Guide to Becoming a Green Hero
Planting a tree is a powerful way to help restore our planet. At Podemos ser Heroes, we guide you step-by-step to become a guardian of nature, from choosing the right tree to caring for it as it grows. Discover how you can make a big difference with just your hands and a little soil.
Let's learn how to plant a tree in 6 simple steps
Choose a location.
Choose a location that allows roots to expand and branches to grow freely, away from building foundations, walls, decks, windows and power lines.
Dig a Hole
Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide
Remove the tree from its location.
Remove the tree from its container and place the root ball in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil.
Fill the Hole
Fill the hole until the soil line is right at the base of the plant and level with the surrounding soil surface.
Gently compact the soil
Gently compact the soil around the tree to remove air pockets.
Water the tree.
Water the tree well and add a 2-inch layer of mulch, such as shredded bark, around the planting area.
