So a friend of mines father does excavation, they planted 8 White Pines for a lady. She called and said they are dieing so I went there with Tim to look at them. I had an idea in my head already that they were too deep. So I went and got on my knees, and there was branches sticking out of the already compact soil. They aren't too far in decline, but they are not vigorous as they should be right now.
"Can't you just give them food?", he asked. Nope.
My question is, all except for the yellow one. They have been in the ground for 7 months, I am thinking we can take them out of there tomb, inspect the roots and remove the burlap/twine they probably didn't take off. We would then start from scratch, and plant them correctly. After planting I was thinking I would drill and fill with Hollytone, or something similar. I also suggested to the lady that we should mulch, if she'd want to hire me for it.
What do you guys think? Would it work?
