Re: We have just moved to a new house

  • e strongly recommend that you wait until November to January in Central Texas to plant any woody plant. In fact, we wouldn't recommend planting anything this time of year. You shouldn't be out there in the sun and neither should a new plant.
  1. First, check out our step-by-step guide "Transplanting a Tree" on http://bit.ly/18wTO5d. The only thing we would add to these excellent instructions is, having removed the dirt from the new hole, mix some good aged compost in the dirt — maybe about half and half — before you return it to the hole around your tree roots. And definitely follow the instructions to put some good quality shredded bark mulch over the roots but not touching the trunk. As time goes by, that mulch will protect the roots from heat or cold and, as it decomposes, will continue to help with the drainage in the hole.
