Planting Redhaven Peach Tree.

A Redhaven peach tree was purchased today and planted. Method is shown in pictures. This is probably an ideal method for most trees, usually I make a circle, but the soil was so hard and packed, that I utilized a rectangle. Total time about three hours from start to finish.

Looks good!

Kew gardens over here recomends trees should always be planted in square holes as the roots can break out at the corners better. If planted in round holes the roots can sometimes spiral round and not break out - thus a weak tree.

Most interesting. This is the serendipitious result of my laziness.
