Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Select a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and ensure the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level.  Position a stake just outside the rootball, then backfill with native soil and compost. Tie the strongest branch to the stake with a soft, flexible material.  This will help train the tree into a columnar form. Spread a three inch layer of mulch three feet around the tree, pulling the mulch back a few inches from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.
