Fiber Pot Tree Planting Instructions
Our trees come in biodegradable fiber pots with metal cages, and the entire package is plant-able: including the pot, metal wires, and sisal rope. Leave it in the pot to plant!
1. Dig the Hole
- Dig a hole 10 inches deep and 6 inches wider than the diameter of the pot.
- Optional: You may slice several holes in the side walls of the fiber pot with a spade to speed up decomposition. This is not required.
2. Prepare the Tree
- Place the pot directly into the hole and ensure the tree is standing straight.
- The top of the fiber pot should sit 3–4 inches above the original ground level.
3. Adjust the Metal Handles
- Bend down or cut off the 2 metal carry handles.
- Leave the 2 anchor points and the rope intact — do not remove those.
4. Backfill and Create a Drainage Mound
- Backfill around the pot with soil.
- Use the excess dirt to form a donut-shaped mound around the rim of the pot.
- Do not put soil within 4 inches of the tree trunk.
- Ensure no part of the fiber pot is exposed above ground, as exposed fiber can wick moisture away from the roots.
- The raised mound improves drainage, which is especially important for conifers.
5. Watering
- Immediately after planting, saturate the entire planting area with water to eliminate air pockets around the roots and pot.
- Water as needed, typically:
- Weekly in spring and summer during the first year.
- During dry periods in the second year, until the roots are well established.
- The soil should not be dry more than 1 inch below the surface.
6. Fertilizing
- Fertilize 6 months after planting using an evergreen-focused fertilizer mix.
7. Mulching
- Mulching with wood chips greatly improves health, growth rate, and survivability of newly planted trees.
- Mulch is highly encouraged!
Live Christmas Tree Indoor Care Instructions
1. Limit Time Indoors
- Live Christmas trees should spend no more than 1 week indoors.
- Minimize exposure to temperatures above 60°F to protect the tree’s dormancy.
2. Choose the Right Spot
- Place the tree in the coolest area of the home.
- Keep it away from heaters, furnace vents, fireplaces, and fans.
3. Water Daily
- Trees dry out quickly indoors.
- Check and water every day to keep the soil moist.
4. Acclimate the Tree When Moving Outdoors
- After the indoor period, **acclimate the tree gradually** by placing it in a garage or shed for about one week before moving it outside.
- This helps the tree adjust safely to colder temperatures.
5. Outdoor Holding Recommendations
- If you are not planting the tree immediately:
- Keep the tree out of the wind.
- Place it next to a building, in the woods, or anywhere protected from harsh weather.
- Setting the pot directly on bare ground helps it draw some natural warmth and moisture.
6. Overwintering Before Spring Planting
- You may keep the tree in a non-heated garage all winter and plant it in spring.
- Water weekly in non-freezing indoor areas (like an unheated garage).
- If the tree is stored outdoors, check soil moisture during thaw periods.
- Trees can also be kept on porches or sidewalks as long as they are watered as needed.
7. Avoid Long Indoor Stays
- Keeping live Christmas trees indoors for extended periods during winter can interrupt their natural dormancy cycle.
- This may reduce survivability once planted.
