How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

Aspen trees thrive in well-drained, moist soils and prefer full sun to partial shade. They are relatively low-maintenance, but they benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Aspen trees are best planted in areas with plenty of space to grow, as they can spread through root suckers. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches. While Aspens are hardy in various climates, they may require some protection from strong winds due to their shallow root systems. They are also susceptible to pests like aphids and diseases like cankers, so monitoring for early signs of issues is important for their health.
