Chester County Black Hills Spruce
What you need to know:
Spruce trees and pine trees are mainly used for privacy screening. These conifer trees (evergreen trees) should be planted 10-15’ apart and approximately 6-8’ from the property line when used as a screening tree. Norway spruce trees grow approximately 15-18” a year, and white pine trees 18-24” a year once their roots are reestablished.
For the best possible results, every evergreen tree should be planted several inches high, packed in the hole well, and a saucer or ring of dirt or mulch should be put around the ball to hold the water.
The wire basket should be left on the tree ball forever. Trying to remove or removing the wire basket will most likely destroy the rootball of the dug tree.
Watering of newly planted evergreen trees should be done 2x a week, if mulched, otherwise more often is recommended. The tree should be given 5-10 gallons per watering. Trees 12’+, give 10-15 gallons 2x a week.
DO NOT
Do not remove the burlap or wire surrounding the ball.
Do not fertilze or prune the tree for one full year.
DO
Do water your newly planted trees generously every few days for up to a month or longer during the hot and dry season.
Do mulch around the base of your newly planted trees to help keep the ball and roots damp and cool.
Do stake your newly planted trees whenever your trees are larger than 8 feet tall and heavy winds are expected or normal in your area.
Evergreen trees are very durable and adaptable trees. Newly planted evergreen trees require only water to quickly root and adapt to the new environment.
The newly planted evergreen tree will grow very slowly the first year and more regular on the second year after transplant.
