Default Re: Practices With Tree Spade

Once dropped in, if it was mine, I'd consider digging 1/2 to a full shovel's depth from around the rootball, outward about 8" to 12".

Then loosen that, and backfill that circular trench after washing a fine loose blended soil in any gaps.

And about 3" of medium / coarse mulch on top except right near the trunk.

You have the names detailed quite well. Did the campus catalogue it's trees courtesy of the horticulture department?
