Hi,
I have planted three trees (CrabApple, Amor Cherry). These trees were
in burlap when I received them. I followed what my local tree nursery
person suggested. I have spread mulch around the trees. However, i am
not sure if that's a good thing to do for young trees. I have heard
that putting mulch on newly planted trees causes harm for the tree. On
the other hand, there is an opposite idea that mulching is a good idea
for newly planted trees. Can you share your experinece with me about
mulching the newly planted trees?
Another questioon I have is about fertilizing these trees. i have
applied the growth booster fetrtilizer. I mixed some of the powdery
stuff into water, and spread it around trees. Is this enough for this
year for my trees, or should I repeat the fertilizing process?
If you have any other suggestion on how to take care of newly planted
trees, please let me know.

thanks
