Soak It & Dig It!
Soak the bareroots in a mixture of Navlet's Transplant Starter and water. While that is soaking, start digging a large planting hole.

Mix It!
Mix the soil from hole with Navlet's Super Compost Plus, GreenAll Sure Start, and polymer granules. If necessary, drive tree stakes into the bottom of the hole.

Plant It!
Form a small mound of soil mix at the bottom of the hole and drape roots around it. Make sure the graft union or first bud set is above ground level.

Water It!
Fill hole 3/4 full with soil mix, water well, and wait for water to be absorbed. Then fill the remainder of the hole. If you are using tree stakes, be sure to tie-off plant.
