time
You can plant roots in the garden between mid-October and the end of November. In late autumn, the soil offers sufficient residual heat from which the trees benefit. By the onset of winter, they form fiber roots that they use to supply themselves. If the soil is wet or frozen, you should wait before planting.

Preparations
Soils that are too heavy are loosened up with sand to increase permeability. Sandy soils are well suited for root crops, although these prefer a humus subsoil. Enrich nutrient-poor substrates with compost.
Rest of the procedure:
- Unpack plants upon arrival
- don't wait too long to plant
- for temporary storage place in a water bath
Instructions for planting
Let the wood stand in a bucket of water for at least 60 minutes before planting. This gives the roots enough time to soak. In the meantime, choose a suitable location where you can dig a planting hole. It should be about twice the diameter of the root system.
Loosen the bottom of the hole well. If you haven't already improved the soil, mix up the excavated material with sand, compost, or more Potting soil. A hand full Horn shavings(€ 32.93 at Amazon *) ensures the nitrogen supply for the next few weeks.
Put plants
Place the wood in the middle of the planting hole so that the roots are slightly below the level of the soil. If necessary, put a stake close to the trunk and drive it into the ground with a rubber mallet. Fill in the Excavation and tread on the substrate. So that the roots come into contact with the soil, you should water it thoroughly.
care
Cut the shrub back 20 to 30 percent. This measure compensates for the loss of root mass that occurred when the plants were cleared. Further fertilization is not necessary in the near future, as you have already taken care of the trees. If the weather is very dry, you should pay attention to regular watering.
