I’ve tried covering trees 🌳 icing them with sprinklers 💧🔥 even setting small fires to keep temps above 28°. The real fix?

🌳 What other tips would YOU add for planting a tree? 🌱Here are 3 of my go-to tips for success:1️⃣ Support young trees if they’re in an open field so wind doesn’t knock them over. 💨2️⃣ Mulch smart – 2 to 3 inches max, keeping it away from the trunk, and spread it out to the drip line. Keeps roots cool and soil moist. 🍂3️⃣ Water consistently the first year, especially in summer. Slow-release watering bags are a game-changer. 💧Plant it right from the start and you’ll set your tree up for years
