Planting instructions |
With underground anchoring |
 |
The planting hole must, depending
on the conditions, be significantly
larger than the rootball.
Roughen/
loosen the bottom of the hole before
planting the tree. |
 |
Tamp down the soil in the planting
hole firmly. |
 |
Rest the tree against a suitable
object to prevent damage to the
branches. Wrap hessian sacking
around the trunk to protect the
bark, and then tie the sling around
it. Carry the tree by the rootball
(or trunk). |
 |
Drill the holes in the ground for the
underground anchoring. |
|
Use the sling to place the tree
upright in the hole.
Only use the sling
when the flow of sap has halted. |
 |
Drive the support poles firmly into
the soil. |
 |
The top of the rootball must be
at Z(or just above) ground level.
The rootball may NEVER be
placed too deep.
ATTENTION:
Gauze and hessian sacking may
NOT be removed from the rootball. |

 |
Secure the poles firmly with
elasticated straps.
These must also
be attached securely to the poles. |
 |
Fill the Planting hole 1/3 full of soil. |
 |
Tighten the straps and, if necessary,
saw the support poles off at the
desired height. |
With above ground anchoring |
Place the anchoring strips on the
ground in such a way that you can
precisely measure where the holes
must be drilled in the ground. |
 |
Use the straps to tie the tree and
pole to each other and drive the tree
poles firmly into the ground. |
|
| Securely attach the strap and strip
with nails. |
|
End result. |
|
Irrigation system: Drainage |
 |
Install the drainage tube just below
ground level. |
 |
Fill the planting hole and ensure
that the ground is smooth and level.
Allow the end of the tube to protrude
above ground level. |
Irrigation system: Irrigation ridge |
Create a ridge of soil at ground level.
The circle must be a little larger
than the diameter of the rootball. |
 |
|
Important!
NEVER plant the rootball too deep!
