My wire basket plant appears to be surrounded by plastic instead of burlap. How should I plant it?
A. Congratulations! You have purchased a container grown wire basket tree. These trees were not recently dug and stuck in this basket, they have grown there for long enough to properly root and will continue to grow as soon as you plant them in the ground. Since this type of wire basket tree weighs much less than the dug kind you will likely be able to first lift it into the hole (with two people) and then remove the wire, rope and plastic. These trees are less likely to sink in newly graded soil and less likely to require staking.
