March 12, 2023 is the 45th Tree Planting Day in China. On that day, many people planted trees to make the planet greener. But do you know how to plant a tree? Here are the steps toward it.
Firstly, dig a hole and prepare the tree. The hole is at least 2 to 3 times wider than the root ball (根球) of the tree and the same depth as the height of the root ball. At the same time, do some preparations to make sure the tree is ready to be planted.
Secondly, place the tree in the hole. You should finish this job in a hurry so that the roots don't get hit by the sun and won't dry out. If you have dug a perfect hole, the top part of the root ball would be in the same level as the ground.
Thirdly, backfill (回填) the hole and water the tree. Put the soil back to the hole up to the top of the root ball. After that, water all the hole area until it is soaked (浸透的). Remember not to water it too fast. Water will compact (压紧) the soil. If there is a need, add more soil just enough to reach the top of the root ball, then water again.
Lastly, protect the tree. Some work should be done to protect the newly planted tree. For smaller trees, place rocks around the trunk (树干). You should take the rocks away when the tree becomes strong.
