    “The hole for planting a tree should be twice the size of the root ball.”

    …are we still talking horticulture or is this still about the glory hole discussion?

  2. I have cut down thousands of trees. Never planted one.

    Actually there is a dead limb on one of our backyard trees that needs to be removed. I intend to do it myself with rope and a hacksaw. It’s about 25 feet up. I do not plan to wear any safety equipment.

  3. And the worst thing you can do to a tree is heap mulch up against it. The crowns of the roots should remain barely exposed. Mulch a “moat” around the tree wit about 1′ or so between the tree and the top of the moat “wall.”
