To assist in the proper selection of plant material for various conditions, uses and requirements, and to easily classify plants as to fruit, colors and other characteristics, we refer you to the following lists. Click on each link for more information. Most, but not all of the plants recommended are offered at Princeton Nurseries. |

Dig a planting hole two to three times wider than the size of your root
ball. Allow more space when working with heavier, compacted soils.
Calculate the depth of the hole, keeping in mind that you want the root ball
to retain the same grade as it had in the nursery. The root collar
should be at or above the natural grade of the plant, as it was when you
received it. Loosen the soil of the tree pit walls, but leave the
hardpan directly beneath the root ball undisturbed to prevent settling.
Use existing soil as backfill, removing any debris or stone greater than 1
1/2 in. diameter. Amend soil only in heavy clay or compacted soils.
Amendments can include humus, organic matter and/or lime and fertilizer
depending on your soil analysis. Dispose of any non-biodegradable sisal/rope or burlap to prevent girdling of the root crown or constriction of roots. Pull any burlap away from the trunk of the tree that could also cause girdling. Prune and remove all broken and damaged branches but do not prune live wood. The tree's energy must focus on root regeneration at this time. Pruning for plant size or form can be done when the tree is established. Stake your trees as needed, particularly when added support is necessary in open and windy places. Remove stakes after one year or when roots are established to prevent girdling. Tree wrap is not recommended. Research to date has not disclosed any benefits from the use of tree wrap. Your "Princeton Plants" are an investment and with the proper planting and maintenance your investment will grow! |
