[QUOTE="Brian P., post: 5841434, member: 24451"] another good mulch is pile up leaves about 2-3’ deep around the trees till you can het some wood chips from the local tree guys…old composted leaves are best..pile it deep. theynwill,love you for it ! you want cool and moist soils for the roots, not a barren hot desert…and heavy compost keeps soils cool and thats one of the most important things, because if it gets 85-90 in a heat spell, that temp goes down 4-5” deep and thats what kills more tree seedlings than people know. heat is very hard on new seedlings with shallow roots. heat can kill trees even if theynare watered . thats true..i,learned this after planting literally thousand sof trees in mymlifetime, with often poor success. once imlearned these things imtold you, my success ratenis up around 90% and better now.lastly, always get trees with roots that are at least 12” long..that way they can get a lot of roots below that dangerous 4-6 “ depth where heat can kill them.
