1. Plant now. Cooler months give plants time to get established before summer. Choose low-water varieties, and keep mature plant size in mind.
2. Dig a hold that is three to five times wider; but no deeper, than the plant's root ball.
3. Loosen the container from the root ball, and remove the plant by the root ball (not the branches or foliage).
4. If the roots are compact or circling the container, score the root ball or loosen the roots around the circumference of the plant
5. Place the plant in the hole so that the top of the root ball is even with or just a bit above the soil surface. Fill in with soil, pressing firmly around the root ball to minimize settling.
6. About 70% of home water use occurs outdoors, so visit www.togetherweconserve.com for water-saving ideas.
