Planting a Tree
Sept 2004
We did a great deal of research before deciding on a Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) for our yard. It is a beautiful and xeric deciduous tree that will eventually provide plenty of shade for our patio.
Planting it was fairly simple.
First, dig a hole - dig a BIG hole.
  
Second, measure the hole and find the center.
  
And third, place the tree and fill the dirt back in. Then mulch well of course.
