Proper planting techw00iques
By R. JEANNE llEIIWALDT
December 2011 was shaping up
to be the driest on record in West-
ern Washington. Although we have
received rain recently, according to
Mary Robson, retired WSU Area Ex-
tension Agent and noted author, if
we enjoy relatively dry soils in Janu-
ary, there are plenty of things we can
plant. Wet, saturated ground can't
be used for planting, cultivating, or
digging, but at the moment many gar-
dens have damp but not soggy soil.
If the soil in your garden isn't
saturated and soppy, January's a fine
month to transplant trees and shrubs,
especially for moving deciduous
shrubs and trees. These plants are
now dormant and winter transplant-
ing gives them some time for roots to
become established before leaf growth
starts.
Plants in nursery containers can be
selected and planted into the garden
almost any time. Especially for new
gardeners, planting can be tricky.
For more information on planting
and transplanting refer to FS047E
"Planting Trees and Shrubs in the
Landscape." This helpful bulletin
includes photos of the best way to
install plants from containers, includ-
ing techniques for clipping roots to
prevent constriction once the plant
begins to grow. It can be found at
pubs.Wsu.edu and is offered as a free
PDF download. Use the search box
and type in the publication number
listed above.
Proper planting technique can
mean the difference between life and
death for a plant. Sometimes poor
growth on trees and shrubs results
from roots that grew in circles at the
bottom of containers. If these are
planted just as they grew in the con-
tainer, the plant can actually strangle
from root problems as growth com-
mences.
One example we've seen brought
into our offices is a dead pine, over 12
years old. It grew to about six feet tall
and never developed a healthy root
system. The roots were so contorted
that the plant still fit into a one-gal-
lon can, exactly as it was when plant-
ed. Plants are tough and can survive
a lot of difl iculties, but kinked roots
can kill. T,ase out circling roots and
trim off th worst ones, allowing the
plant to produce new healthy roots.
Check catalogs now to order fruit
trees for early spring planting. Be
sure to identify types that will ripen
in western Washington's cool summer
climate Some very familiar apples
such as Red Dehcmus and Granny
Smith will not produce good fruit
here. Less well-known types such as
Akane, Chehalis, and Williams Pride
grow and fruit nicely.
If you hove plant or insect ques-
tions please contact a WSU Master
Gardener on Mondays between noon
and 3 pm at 427-9670 Ext. 687. Mark
your calendars now for the 2012
Country L: ving workshops. The first
workshop q Basic Vegetable Garden-
ing and Rs in Gardens) will be held

there will )e classes the last Saturday
of each m( nth through June: Watch

fice for the list of class topics, time,
and cost.
