The Farm Get's a Christmas Present!

What happens here

To demonstrate the planting process, the presenter plants a Meteor Cherry tree at the end of the garden. He uses the dibble to create a slit in the soft, moist ground. He carefully places the bare-root cherry sapling into the slit, ensuring the roots are straight down. Then, he uses the dibble again, pushing it into the ground next to the first slit and moving it back and forth to close the soil tightly around the roots. He then compacts the soil around the base with his foot and creates a small divot to help retain water. He then proceeds to remove a dead peach tree from the previous year.

Goal: Successfully plant a Meteor Cherry tree for future fruit production.
