Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a golf hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same layer the bush was in the container . If soil is poor , dig hole even broad and make full with a mixture half original filth and one-half compost or soil amendment .
Carefully murder bush from container and softly separate radical . Position in center of golf hole , best side facing forward . Fill in with original dirt or an ameliorate mixture if needed as described above . For larger shrubs , build up a water well . Finish by mulch and watering well .
If the plant is ball - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural gunny , tucking it down into fix , after you ’ve place bush .
