PLANTING AND MAIN1ENANCE GUIDELINES
A) Plantins
Site factors which influence long-term survivability should be considered: overhead and
underground utilities, sidewalks, sign conflicts, traffic visibility, light poles, right-of-way
or site improvements, size of planting space/site, etc.
All olanting stock must be Florida Grade #1 or better.
All synthetic or non-biodegradable material such as nylon rope, synthetic wrap, treated
burlap, etc. must be removed from the root ball before planting. All biodegradable material
should be removed from the upper 1/3 of the root ball. Precautions should be taken to
eliminate any material from extending above the soil surface where it can act as a wick and
dry the surrounding soil.
If trees are planted with wire baskets around the root ball, it is recommended that the top
two tiers of wire be cut and removed after the root ball is set in the planting hole.
The planting hole should be at least 3-5 times the diameter of the root ball (where possible)
and the same deoth as the root ball.
Position the tree or palm in the center of the planting hole with the top of the root ball even
with the surrounding soil surface.
Backfill with soil from the planting site if it is not contaminated. All large rocks should be
removed. When the hole is half full, slowly water to saturate the soil and remove air
pockets, then continue to fill the hole with soil. It is not recommended that large amounts
of organic matter be incorporated into the backfill. Rake the soil evenly around the entire
planting area.
Water thoroughly to remove air pockets, secure the soil around the roots, and provide
nourishment.
B) Mulching
Mulch an area at least three times the diameter of the root ball to a depth of 2-4" with
wood chips, bark mulch, shredded mulch, leaves or pine needles. Keep the mulch several
inches away from the tree or palm trunk.
Replenish mulch as it decomposes maintaining a 2-4" layer over the life of the project.

2nd Edition
99-28 - Tr.. Canopy Planting South Point.
't',
C) Staking
D) Pruning
E) Watering
F) F ertilizimz
Stake only if necessary. For example, if the tree or palm will not stand on its own due to
potential vandalism or strong winds.
Use flexible materials such as strapping or commercially available ties that give as the tree
diameter increases and as the tree moves. Biodegradable material is recommended. Do not
use wire even if wire is inside rubber hose.
Stakes and ties should remain on the trees no longer than one year to avoid girdling.
At the time of planting only dead, damaged, rubbing or cross branches or fronds should
be removed.
Remove sucker sprouts from the base of the tree after planting.
Corrective/structural pruning can begin approximately one year after planting. Do not
remove more than 1/3 of the live crown during one growing season.
Establish a regular watering schedule and follow it. Slow deep watering is recommended.
Additional water may be needed during hot or dry periods.
As tree or palm growth progresses, be sure to water outward (away from the trunk) to the
surrounding soil area, this will promote the outward growth and spread of roots.
Various species of trees or palms and/or soil types may require varied degrees of watering.
Soil moisture and tree health should be monitored and irrigation adjusted accordingly.
Non-irrigated sites need to be monitored more closely.
Begin a fertilization program within the first year of planting. Broadcast fertilizing
or fertilizer plugs/stakes are recommended.
Fertilize lightly after the first year using a balanced fertilizer (rates should be based
on the size of the tree or palm and any special nutrient requirements).
If micronutrient deficiencies are suspected, have a soil test completed and
supplement the fertilization program accordingly.
