Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your Douglas Fir in a spot in your yard that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day. Well-drained soil is ideal. To plant, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and as deep as the soil in the container. Center the tree in the hole and fill with soil. Tamp the soil lightly to make sure there are no air pockets. Add at least three inches of an organic material mulch like pine straw or bark chips.

2. Watering: For the first week, water your tree every day. By the second week you can water every other day. After the first month, gradually reduce watering to once a week. Check the soil during hot conditions - you may need to water your new tree more often. After the first year and once your tree is established, it will need around 20 inches of water each year. Rainfall should suffice unless there is a period of extreme drought.

3. Pruning: If you see insect infested, damaged or diseased branches as your tree grows, you can prune them down to the branch collar in the winter when your tree is less active.
