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.
