I’ll add this because its important regardless of your answers to my last questions. One of the biggest keys to successfully getting trees transplanted and established is keeping the roots moist. That means trying to plan your planting time around a time period when you’re gonna get some rain or when the soil is good and moist already....NOT when its dry. It also means keeping the roots good and moist during the time that you’re actually planting…..don’t let them dry out. This is really important on your bare root seedlings. Planting in late winter when things are “wet” will help a lot. You shouldn’t have to water them after planting.
