[gudny2000]

[Moneyshotdrama7]

I'll shoot you...lol

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

[BUFAHAD73Q8]

poor tree 

[dormi052]

dude you dont dig holes with a flat head shovel!!!!!!! 

[sjscoot]

Rob never saw your videos before but at age 35 I'm planting my first tree ever and usually kill everything. It's a bummer. Great advice. Wish you could tell me what to do after backfilling then planting the trunk ends up being like 3" below soil surface level. I'm assuming you dig it up and add more soil. Great videos tho thanks! Ps ignore these idiots who have such sad lives they could spend time to say something mean about your video. I feel Sp sad for them.

[cediego06]

Keep planting!, by the way (disgress) peolpe has to know that cannabis have many uses, more than 50 000 different products can obtain from cannabis,also one hectare of marihuana is more useless, like obtain more paper than a tree hectare and remains illegal. Take care of our planet is our home, peace

[gladheateher4now]

Hi, we planted a few maples,even cut the roots as they were in the original plastic container for too long. we were told to score threw for an inch from the bottom. All was fin but the leaves are very droopy and was watered well. The woman who owns the tree has been soaking the base 2 times a day. how much water she be applied daily? thanks

[healthwealth8899]

Awesome video. Thank you!



[niniofeyo]

Are you trying to teach people to plant and kill trees if you dont soak the root ball you will get air bags and the air bags will kill you tree

[MrChapati99]

"nice and wet before you start back... filling the hole" 5:33

[argonavis11]

thanks I be indeed helping the earth soon too.!

[scottpoms]

nice stakes where do you get those?

[youjones]

Fantastic, thank you!

[I3addogy]

Nicely done, very informative.

[uou2002]

lol Good Video Editing

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

Why do these types of videos always have to get hijacked by eco-Nazis?

I love trees, but some people are so off-putting

[NashvilleLandscaping]

We just taped planting a huge Japanese maple Trompenburg. I like this video he adds great commentary.

[greatcabby]

I have really compacted clay soil that is as hard as rock. More than a year ago, I planted a lemon tree and it wilted and died eventually, even with regular watering. Those trees still in the pots are surviving.

What is your recommendation on amending the soil? Can I just replace it completely instead of amending?

[empurium]

Wow great info thanks for making this!

[brokenXiris]

Thank you.

I love trees,they are really beautiful.

[5277407]

Rob: Why is it so necessary to stake a tree after planting? I planted my Red Maple as you stated, but without the stakes and it did just fine.

[e1Ioan]

Rob, thank you for sharing how to from Romania.

[alonesmaug]

Thanks for the information Rob.I have 34 trees and i will plant more and more.

Plant the world!

Greetings from Turkey.

[livemusic32]

awesome video thanks a lot!

[devo2746]

you know who i hate? . . . .mixed race, mexicans, redheads, and especially asians!!

[SuperNetSpyder]

you have good tips, but make a larger more gradually sloping hole, don't bother scoring. before you plant, also consider species, sunlight, moisture, disease and insect potential. gator bags are stupid, they don't water the new fine roots that are trying to extend away from the tree and they provide protection for bugs and critters to attack your new tree, use a proper oscilating sprinkler. and the bigger mulch ring you can start with, the better. consult a certified arborist for more help.

[Meirele]

A very good video ! Thanks for showing us how to plant a tree....we need it ! : )

[airsoftUSNavySeal]

so the support strings and sticks are supposed to be loose or are they supposed to have no slack?

[ChevyMan4625]

i use metal stakes about 3-4 feet out and keep the line fairly firm so that in storms or windy days are not whipping them around.

[MrJastin]

What kind of tree is that?

[mickeycars]

Very very good job congrats and thank you very much

[shahzadkhan007]

Hi Bob ! Thanks you very much. Very very informative video. I appreciate that.

[Hutchbeartrap]

Thanks Rob great vid !

[the1cochino]

Awesome video and REALLY helpful!

[eolia71]

Thank you for sharing the way of planting a tree. It was heaven sent for me, because in some hours I plan to plant 2 trees and I didn't know how to solve certain points, such as the width/height of the hole. I know... maybe it is not the best time of the year, but they are a present given to me last week.

[zerdoIE]

great video!! thanks a lot!!

[stopcraponutube]

Nice Video. Thanks.

[stihl192]

where's the compacted soil pedestal for encouragement of good root flair and horizontal growth genius... haha

[loopofpoop]

wait, he never loosened the roots around the plant! uh oh...

[robfaeedi]

Interesting

[just4Isaac]

Patrio: Some honest advise, when you come to stake the tree,(8:23) ask mummy to tie the knot for you...

[Paradiddler45]

The kids knows his trees...

[Tormekia]

I know this sounds really stupid, but how do regular trees manage to survive without humans watering them once a week? *puts on "city person" hat and sits in a corner."

[moseythecat]

hmm. rain?

[just4Isaac]

It looks like summer to me...

[Paitro202]

young birds chirping = spring

[just4Isaac]

You must be right... I didnt notice any bird nests COZ OF THE LEAVES ON THE TREE HE PLANTED...

Summer time

And the livin is easy

Birds are chirping

And the soil is dry

Hush little tweety

Dont you cry... haha

[Paitro202]

haha,ofcourse u wouldnt notice any birds nests,because we can't see the high background or foreground of the habitat,duhh.Besides with your spelling mistakes,and the fact that,"it looks like summer to me." your not very smart,thats how far the simpsons will get you.Birds give birth to their young in spring,if they gave birth to their young in summer,which im sure a few late comers do.They would die in the cold winter months,use your head before you comment next time & stop listening to gay poems

[Paitro202]

even if they are traditional poems of your "family"

[just4Isaac]

Gay???

[just4Isaac]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lol, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha LOL....

[just4Isaac]

Traditional poems??? Dont get me started... I'm sorry that you didnt get the joke so I'll let you in on a secret. Put 'summer time and the livin is easy' in any search engine and see what comes up. If you still dont get it, go plant a tree but wait till autumn! he he he...

[Paitro202]

yeah sad cunt

[appregios]

well you know most of it , but the dirt you dug out should not be put back only good topsoil, also you should line the bottom of the hole with topsoil, and where is the resevour you can take that old dirt to make it the rest spread out never put back old dirt unless it is black and good..and should have transplanter fert mixed in the hole with dirt.and water more lol

[UnchangeableBird]

Tree fatality? Difficult for the tree to establish itself in this landscape? This kid talks like a cop. By which I mean shamefully.

[abf96]

Honors for this video (1)

#20 - Featured

[squid262]

"tree fatality" LOL

[iAmkennyk]

[chrisb073195]

OMG listen at :54 seconds you hear a dog bark and then a gun shot!!!! LOL!!!

[HeshimaJameni]

OMG you're so right. You have pretty good hearing.

[12354blahbla]

CONTINUE THE CAPSLOCK CHAIN!!

[godofsf]

[banks2012cf]

evERYONE IN THIS WORLD SHOULD PLANT ONE TREE AT LEAST EVERY MONTH

[banks2012cf]

I SHOULD BE EARTH DAY EVERYDAY

[Brian3219]

IT'S YA EARTHDAY

IT'S YA EARTHDAY

WE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT'S YA EARTHDAY

SIP BACARDI LIKE ITS YA EARTHDAY

lol.

[yellowmonster]

Instructions were pretty much the same when I helped with the San Joaquin River Parkway's project except though we put cages over our trees so that animals would not feed on these vulnerable trees, flowers and seeds until they have grown.

[ahlizare]

one way to help the roots spread out and promote root growth is to score the root ball with a root saw just along the outer edge of the root mass before you put the tree in the hole

[1peoplesun]

this is amazing the best thing out of the states for a long long time x

[Ronnieday]

Trees... They get me every time :)

[sammyboi7831]

wat the hell y are u ppl panicking that wat if there are too many trees are u americans like afraid that they might be houses to terorist or sumfing children can play in trees they love it trust me i know as im 14 and i still love climbing tree

[Kelloak]

they meant that more trees are better idiot

[g0d2]

you cant plant too many trees, concidering that lumber industries cut down hundreds, even thousands a day, depending on the area and size of the trees, im pretty sure your just ruining our world, calidoggie

[maggieblue22]

Thanks so much - you've taught me a lot, and I am going to send this to my sons. Maggie

[PrincessCupcake82]

YES!

[northtexasisrockdoo]

I CAN PLANT A TREE NOW!!!

[RebelLamb]

vigorous roots lol

[ValerieHarris1]

When did you straighten out the tree?

It's a good idea to stake the tree in windy areas.

[ValerieHarris1]

Dude - your tree is crooked!

Valerie

[hahaurafagx103]

wow

your like

a tree genious!!!

woohoo treessss

yayy ...

[MelterOfJews]

A career planting trees....pathetic

[ZachNCheeze]

at least he's contributing to the environment unlike you dumbass factory workers who just pollute.

[Jemalacane]

@ZachNCheeze Fuck you! Dumbass factory workers are the basis of most commerce and industry.

[GlorifyingEnd]

Nice measuring tool :)

[loonyx]

beide makes it on the featured page! hooray trees!

[JuuhachigouSama]

Thank you for the video! I've been wanting to plant a tree and now I know how!

[champerz]

[muzzleblast71]

Good job Rob...

[tyrion922]

Interesting video.

[bjhorton2005]

Very good video.

[tangeoats11]

trees can teach us many things if we listen

[skirbyr]

good vid!

[hotrodfun]

My favourite tree is "Norway spruce" (Gran)It`s a needle tree and is green all season. Makes a lot of oxygen, smells very good, and can be 500 years old.

[oxyking]

'lol

[goney3]

Awesome, that was pretty neat :)

[comedybill]

Might not be the most interesting video for everyone. But so what! Really good informative video. Well done and thanks.

[snoopdog68]

I always pee on the trees, hike my leg and let loose.

[Adventurestud]

there's a good dog!

[just4Isaac]

YAWN...

[mxc4romano]

Planting a tree increases the scenery and makes you feel better about yourself, but it doesn't do anything to save the planet. Nothing.

[ShavaShav]

What? Every plant helps takes CO2 out of the atmosphere so, Yes, planting a tree does help save the plant

[bankiddopig]

planting a tree does make our air better, trees produce oxygen helps clean up the air.

mxc4romano needs watch more National Geographic, it tells all!

[filipeguedeslima]

whats the problem with the yard??

[stejlu]

great..everyone should try to plant some tree...its not as easy as it seem.-)

[SoulYume]

Great video, more people should watch this.

[theofficialurok]

Tree Mendous

[Trinigyal20]

Nice

Thanks for uploading

[Timothayyy]

At least im not some wannabe driving my Prius around thinking im saving the earth..... I try to save energy as much as I can, I always turn everything off if I leave my house, if I have to go somewhere I try to think about whats nearby so I dont have to waste so much gas making extra trips, I recycle newspaper, bottles etc etc. So yeh I could be doing a lot more, but I do something and take a little time for the environment. And Americans do want whats easier, so how is that stupid? Its a fact.

[valor93]

well this is a well made video, but Dude... It´s a Tree!

[musthavefaith]

HUH? yeah.. and... we need trees for oxygen to BREATH BUDDY!!! HELLOO!! WAKE UP!!!

[valor93]

well sorry i didn´t think about that in the first place.

[henrywiltcher]

The very same things that allow you to exist in the first place. There's no shame in taking an interest in the environment and nature. I'm not telling you what do or anything.

[raginape]

you forgot to split your sub soil from top soil

[sycomantisz]

good job teaching people to look for the root flare and not to over-mulch!

[liron95]

i cant believe it, earth haters too?

omg all this 15 years old kids are really stupid. (hope you are 15 if you are older then MANNN you have a problem)

[liron95]

there are some really nice tips there, tnx !

[JoshTheDrummer69]

fuck this earth day, if we really wanted to save the earth we would demand to have the electric car back! everything we do is nothing compared to what could be done if everyone used electric cars not gas, but GM and the goverment wont let that happen! open your eyes

[Adventurestud]

Josh your approach could use some work but you're right. Going electric would be a big step in the right(correct) direction. While is't true that most electricity is produced by burning coal it's a lot easier to regulate those factories than a bunch of individual cars. Besides, we'll be burnig that coal anyways and eventually we'll run out of that too. By that time alternatives will have been developed. Electric cars are one piece of the puzzle but it's going to take more than just that.

[carolperez]

thank you very much

[idiotgo]

lol?

[DarthComrade]

Those are some excellent tips, thanks a bunch, my friend!

[thetreelesssquirrel]

Usually Treeless Squirrel asks people to "Plant trees, please." But you guys are pros. Keep up the great work! Go Planting America, plant on.

[constrength]

Thanks for the info Rob. I have just planted several maples, but am now having planters remorse. The trees are about 30 feet away from my house, but I am worried that might be too close because of damage it might cause to the foundation of my house and piping. Do you think 30ft away from the house is too close?

[teewex]

good job teaching people to look for the root flare and not to over-mulch!

[serena9554]

I finally have an idea on how to plant a tree, thanks to this video. Thank you so much!! great info!
