If it is your goal to establish a new forest, widen a riparian corridor, or create shrubby escape cover for quail without waiting on the slow process of succession, then you many need to plant them. Ensuring the outcome is what you had in mind, it is advisable to establish a tree & shrub planting plan before you start the work on the ground.
A successful planting is more than just sticking trees in the ground. It requires good appropriate site preparation depending on what competition must be controlled. It requires good healthy seedlings properly cared for and stored once received from the nursery. It requires proper handling of seedlings in the field so that bare roots don’t dry out in the least before properly planting them in the ground. Proper timing, technique, and planting dates are also important for good seedling survival during the critical first few years of growth.
