Tree Upkeep and Tree Planting Activities

Tree upkeep refers to clearing out weeds within one meter perimeter of newly planted or young trees. Clearing and tree planting activities comprise preparing the soil by digging a hole twice the depth of the root ball before planting the seedlings. There must be at least one meter space between seedlings.
