  3. 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Position the tree in the hole so that the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  4. 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the plant.
  5. 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply Weed Pro Weed Mats or mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and provide insulation for the roots.
