Default Planting cedar shrubs

Can anybody offer any tip's for planting replacement cedar shrubs. I am in
the Pacific Northwest so the weather is fine.

The root ball is enclosed in burlap, should this be removed or just cut open
on a couple sides to allow the roots to grow through.


If it is real biodegradable burlap, you just cut slits and leave it in
the hole. If it is plastic burlap or treated burlap, you remove it
completely.
