Use a manual hole digger to plant trees
A manual hole digger can be used to dig holes for plants and shrubs and to insert stakes for trees. For a tree, you need to dig a bigger hole than can be achieved with a manual hole digger. If the hole is not dug deep or wide enough, the tree may not survive. The same may happen if you plant the tree too deep. Generally, the top of the root ball needs to be at ground level, but be sure to ask the grower if you are uncertain of the planting depth. The hole for the tree stake is dug next to the root ball to ensure the stake does not penetrate the roots and to make sure you can dig deep enough to insert the stakes.
