Plant tolerance through planting varies from plant to plant and depends on its size how it is purchased from the nursery.

Green Circles Method:
Green Circles trained staff provide a site assessment including a chemical and physical soil test and species requirement analysis, which includes a recommendation of the best timing and space requirements for planting. Staff prepare, amend and cultivate accordingly, then install the plant matching the existing soil grade to the new root ball. Soil is hilled around the perimeter of the backfilled hole to act as a reservoir for watering and fill as the soil settles. The new plant is watered thoroughly after planting. If required, larger specimens are staked and tied according to the direction of the prevailing winds. Green Circles will install Mulch to prevent moisture loss. Winter protection from environmental stress for the first year after transplant will be provided at the end of the growing season.
