Evergreen Trees – Creating a cavity

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Ramon Riley

Before you can plant a tree, you need to create a cavity. This is either a gap between the stump of the tree or a gap between the stump and the base that you blow over with a compressor. The most common method of creating a cavity is to blow down the middle of the base and leave the stump left alone. This is the slowest, for the most part, but leaves the tree base intact. You alike subsequent generations of trees will go through a similar process.

The best method of creating a cavity is to plant trees in holes that fit your soil. The holes allow air to move in between the tree and the soil. If you put a blanked tree in a raised bed where the sides have a gap, where they are raised above the soil but abutting the root, it will mold and rot. This rotting will take months or years to occur for a small tree, but for larger trees, it can take years. To compensate for the root growth, you have to blow off the top of the tree. You can leave the root alone, or you can choose to retain the root by creating a cavity.

There are a couple of methods that can create a cavity. St Cathedral Trees like Spring Hearted Pine, Maple, Ornamental Cherry, and Eastern Redbud. You can plant what is called deciduous trees, or evergreen trees. These trees are planted for their foliage. For deciduous, leaves fall off the tree in winter, and they stay there until they start to fall. For evergreen leaves, it is a type of dense evergreen that will come to life in spring as the water content in the soil rises. Then it stays dormant for most of the winter.

To create a cavity using deciduous Evergreen trees, you will need to blow off the top of the tree, because you want to leave the roots attached to the tree. You could blow several inches of soil off, or you can leave the front of the tree all clump up. Then you will have a hole made for the roots of the tree in the ground. With deciduous evergreen, you have to pull special root systems from the bottom of the tree. These roots stretch out towards the trunk, and they will grow back once the tree dries out.

Both deciduous and evergreen trees have labels on them telling you what is planted in for you. Using these can help accommodate erratic plant growth. If you take a ball of newspaper and rub its surface along the line where a tree was uprooted, you will see that the paper will twist back slightly. This means that the root system is a kind of chaos, and needs to be accommodated. Because the roots will grow around the tree and then back themselves out, you have to plant around those.

Planting Evergreen Trees.

Evergreen trees come in a variety of different types. Use this overview as a guideline, or refer to a nursery for specific details.

  • Douglas-fir Evergreen Trees- these require special site circumstances, including soil and treatment, because they can be very difficult to transplant.
  • Silver Evergreen Trees -These are a fast grower and, therefore, are a greener choice.
  • Silver Spruce Evergreen Trees-these require special site circumstances, including soil and treatment, because they can be extremely difficult to Rebuilding.
