The hole dug should be one and a half times as deep as the roots and twice as wide as the span of the roots. After digging, you need to make sure the soil does not fall back into the hole by putting it to one side.

7. Work on pruning the trees Pruning is very important for the healthy growth of fruit trees. You should check to see if the trees have been pruned and if not then you should prune them by removing any dead and broken branches. This will ensure the healthy growth of the tree.

The next thing to be done is to place the tree on the mound and spread the roots across the mound. While positioning the stake, take care not to break up the roots during the process.
