How to plant my tree on the ground?
PLANTING TROPICAL FRUIT TREES ON THE GROUND.
Dig a hole on the ground about twice the size of the plastic container. Put some of the loosen soil back in the hole.
If available, apply 8-3-9 granular fertilizer to the hole.
Water the loosen soil and fertilizer.
Carefully remove the tree from the plastic container and place in the hole.
Plant so top of root system is at or above soil level.
Shovel the soil back into the hole and tamp lightly to remove air pockets on the ground.
Water the tree again
if available, add mulch to the top of the tree to keep moist.
water your tree every day or every other day.
