Summer Digging Trial 8-2011
Transplanting Process - Post Transplanting Irrigation and Photos

We dug trial trees with a tree spade - no wire basket. Fresh holes were selected and also dug by the spade. DPS Trees, Dan Shoemaker, dug the trees and planted them. Shaun Palik, our college intern, closed the holes very carefully and replaced drip irrigation lines on the root ball area. Drip was turned on as soon as this work was completed
