Step 1: Soak roots in water for 6-8 hours and plant immediately in Tennessee native soil.
Step 2: After planting seedlings, install mulch around the tree seedlings. Keep mulch one inch away from the seedling stem to prevent rot.
Step 3: Water seedlings weekly for the first two years.
Step 4: Cage or fence small seedlings to protect against small animals or deer if needed.
