How do you plant a macadamia tree?

Mac Faq's
Since macadamia trees are evergreen, you can prune them any time that you want. However, for the most part, they do not require a great deal of pruning for themselves. If you are not pleased with your trees shape then go at it. If you open up the tree to the rays of the sun you could make it a subject for sunburn. You can make a suntan lotion using white latex paint mixed half and half with water, then just brush it on the areas that you have exposed to the sun.

For best results, choose at least a 5' tall tree. Select a site with enough room for roots and branches to reach full size, and don't forget to avoid overhead and underground utilities. Prepare the area by loosening the soil three to five times the diameter of the root-ball. Dig a hole in the middle set the root-ball even with the ground level. Then water the soil. If the tree will not stand up in the wind, stake it down.

What is the proper way to plant a tree?

FAQs: Tree Care and Tree Issues
The most common mistake made by non-professionals when planting a tree is planting the root ball too low. This can cause long-term developmental problems and stress to the growing tree, and can eventually lead to the demise of the tree. The root collar (where the lower trunk branches into roots) should never be planted below the surrounding elevation of the soil. Another common mostake is planting a tree in a hole too small for the roots to spread and establish themselves.

How do you plant a tree or shrub?

Bountiful Acres | Landscaping Nursery - Buckingham, PA
Soil is the most important factor in a plant's growth. Ideally, it should be neutral, or slightly acidic, and should contain a good amount of organic matter such as peat moss. Peat is an organic matter that will increase aeration in heavy clay soil, and increase water retention in light, sandy soil. When planting, dig a hole just as deep and twice as wide as the root system. Then amend the soil with peat moss, back fill the hole, and tamp lightly with your foot.

I have hardpan. Can I plant my tree?

SMUD.org | Rebates | Shade Tree FAQ
There is a difference between hardpan and compacted clay soil. A chunk of true hardpan will not dissolve if left in a bucket of water overnight, or if saturated in the soil after several heavy rainfalls. If a shovel easily penetrates the soil after rains, it is not hardpan. The depth of the hardpan varies greatly, even within an individual yard. Most people don't reach hardpan until a depth of 18 inches or more. Claypan, or compacted clay soil can be broken up when thoroughly soaked.

Can I plant flowers or bulbs at the base of my tree?

The National Forest - Gift Shop
We do not encourage this, primarily because the young trees will need to be weeded for the first 3 years. This entails the spraying off of all vegetation from around the base of the tree to allow unhindered growth. There are also issues regarding the woodland ecology; many flower species will be inappropriate in a native wood.
