Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree as this can cause problems. If your soil is poor, mix 50% of the original soil with 50% high quality compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Remove the pot, gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole. To help Golden Dawn Redwood trees establish more effectively, we advise applying root grow by sprinkling in the hole. We recommend digging a square hole as this encourages the roots to grow straight as opposed to around inside the hole. Firstly, remove weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole, then dig a hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 2x as wide.
