Thanks for the previous info... I have blackjack clay soil. We have 16 fruit trees in pots ranging from 10-25 gallon pots. They are root bound in these pots. So from what I'm reading above I will put them in buckets of water and tense out the roots . But do I remove all the soil?
Also what size hole would you suggest with this soil? Should we attempt to loosen it up as much as we can or just plant into the same size hole as the pot ( just a little bigger)?
Should we add compost of top soil. It seems that if we take all the soil off the roots, it would be hard to fill in the roots completely with this hard clay leaving air gaps around the roots? suggestions?
Being that its spring here some have many blooms and some fruit sets, should we just pull these off to helps the tree recover after planting?
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
