In setting out, hold the tree in an upright position against the notch in the tree setter, then fill in the loose soil around it, first spreading out the roots and rootlets. The surface soil should be put in first among the roots. When the hole is two- thirds full, firm the earth thoroughly about the roots, but before doing this draw the tree up to its permanent position. The top three to four inches of soil should not be tamped. A basin should be scooped out around the tree which will hold at least 15 gallons of water, which should be given at once after planting. The following day draw in loose soil to fill up this basin, but do not tamp it. Guard against setting too deeply, but allow for the settling of the soil, so that when once established the tree will stand about as it did at the time of removal from the nursery rows. The basin system applies to amateur planting not commercial orchards; the latter are invariably irrigated by furrows. In the hot interior valleys of this state, it is also very important to protect the trunks with tree protectors until they can supply their own shade. Planting systems.
