Planting your Living Christmas Tree

When it comes time to plant your tree you will notice all of Camino Garden Center's Christmas trees are planted in ball and burlap.  This simply means the tree was field grown then dug from the ground when it was old enough.  Keep the burlap on your plant's root ball to prevent transplant shock.  Simply place the root ball in the ground with the neck of the tree slightly raised to prevent rot.  Cut the strings and burlap away from the neck of the tree and bury with the root ball.  Make sure to water your newly planted tree.
