Materials Needed
• A good quality tree (from Moon Valley Nursery)
• Shovel
• Moon Dust
• Watering Hose

The most important step is to begin with selecting a healthy tree. Moon Valley Nursery has the best quality of trees in the Southwest!

Choose a suitable tree for the region, climate, and space.


All of the trees at Moon Valley Nursery sells are suitable for the climate here in the Southwest.
Consider how quickly and how large the tree will grow and how much cleanup it will require.
Understand the growth habits of the tree you will plant, and the shape that your tree will have when it is mature.
Any questions about the region, climate and space can be answered by any of our Moon Valley Nursery staff.

Decide where you want the tree. 


Remember that trees will grow large, so in addition to arranging it according to how you want the area to look, think ahead and ask yourself:


• What will the tree shade, and what it might touch or cover when it is fully grown?
• Will it be too close to any sidewalks, houses, or power lines?
• Does your planting location tend to flood or puddle heavily when it is wet? 
Choose a site with good drainage. Planting holes can form natural ponds in non-percolating conditions, and many trees will drown if their roots are completely submerged.


Remember, after your tree is planted add fertilizer. All plants need fertilizer to thrive, but too much and you will burn the leaves or kill the plant. Moon Valley Nursery has the perfect blend that will help your newly planted tree to thrive, Moon Dust for trees and shrubs. For an easy step by step tutorial watch 'Moon Valley Nurseries show you how to fertilize your tree or shrub'.


A newly planted tree needs stakes to support it while it develops a strong root system. For further instructions on how to properly stake a tree watch 'Moon Valley Nurseries shows you how to stake a tree'.
