Step 2: Measure the width of the hole for the tree.
Use your shovel to gauge the width of the hole you will need to dig for the tree. The hole should be three times the width of the root ball. Transfer that width to the ground where you will dig. Most roots grow sideways out of the cluster, and you will need to give them a soft start to build a strong, new root system.
