Proper Tree Planting Based on Ohio Specifications
Many newly planted trees struggle to survive—often failing within just a few months or years after installation. These failures are frequently preventable and tied to improper planting practices. You can improve long-term tree health and reduce losses by specifying and following the Ohio Sample Tree Planting Specifications. This proven resource outlines best practices for successful tree establishment—from site preparation to proper planting depth and post-planting care. Learn how to achieve better outcomes and protect your investment in community trees. Mark A. Webber, BCMA, presented this Tree Talk Tuesday webinar.
