New tree planting advice

[dba7108]

Planting a new tree (pine). The tree is around 6 years old in a pot. What is the best soil or addictive to add? I have some bags of miricle grow and also some manure. Also blood fish and bone feed. Thanks

Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi is what you need.

Remember you need a decent stake and a tree tie to support it for its first few years.
This kit has everything you need.

Plant it in a square hole, not a round one

Don't put compost/soil improver in the hole. The roots won't grow to seek out the nutrients as they'll be spoiled where they are.

How tall is it currently? They're pretty hardy and generally just flex with the wind so if it's still small then you can probably get away without bothering to stake it.
