Planting is the same as the 15 gallon, but the hole would not have to be as deep. Remember, many people dig the holes too deep and this causes the plant to sink-in over time if it is not already too deep in the ground. The Princeton Elm is very forgiving of this, but if you dig a hole too deep, then backfill the hole and firm the bottom of the hole to make sure the plant does not sink over time. The roots will find their way into the new surounding soil.

Another important aspect to remember about the NEW 10 gallon Princeton American Elm is to keep it staked for the first year. This will ensure a straight tree until it can stand on its own.
