Jacob Manuku:

Hi, I'm Jacob Manuku From McCoy logging.
Here at McCoy, we don't just cut down trees. We plant and grow them too.
Whether you want a forest, or just an apple tree in your backyard...
...the techniques are the same.
If starting from seed, plant in a small pot, and transplant to bigger pots as your tree grows.
Potted trees can be planted at any time, but bare root stock can only be planted in winter
Ensure the soil is not saturated or your tree's roots may rot.
Remove surrounding grass or plants if they will overshadow your tree...
...then dig a hole wider than the rootball, and three times deeper.
Plant your tree at the same depth in the ground as it was in your pot.
Step firmly on the earth around the base of the tree when you fill the soil back in.
Any air pockets in the soil around the roots will greatly harm its chances.
Leave an adequate distance around your trees, five to ten yards...
...depending on how high the tree will grow.
Plant well away from nearby structures and power lines...
...and remember to plant the right trees in the right place.
Use the local species as a guide to what thrives and what doesn't.
Mark your trees if they're not visible from a distance...
...and protect them from rabbits, deer or livestock...
...with adequate piping or fencing.
And finally, remember the proverb:
"The best time to plant trees is twenty years ago. The second best time, is now."

Trivia

  • The proverb mentioned is a Chinese proverb.
