Gardening Tips: Planting trees and shrubs effectively
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) - Trees and shrubs are often key features of a landscaped yard, which require care during planting in order to thrive later on. Glen Risse, Co-Owner of Risse Greenhouse, recommends buying trees in 12 inches or less of soil, planting them at the same depth. “If the roots are down too low they don’t sense the cold in the fall early enough and they don’t start to lose their leaves or go into that dormant stage, and they will sit there and think it’s still summer time, because it’s the roots that sense when to go dormant,” he said.
