Default Planting cedar shrubs

How does one tell if it is treated. Perhaps it's best if I just slit the
sides to be safe.

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.
