Lay the roots horizontally along the trench, 2” deep. You may need to position some canes deeper than 2” so that all roots on the cane are covered, still laying the length of roots parallel to the soil surface at the 2” depth.CAUTION: If set too deeply, they will not easily send up new canes from the roots as they must. FERTILIZATION: You may thoroughly incorporate a light amount of fertilizer at least 2 weeks prior to planting. Do not fertilize when planting, wait until new transplants are well established. PLANTING YEAR:New growth may not appear for 5 - 6 weeks. The cane portion of the plant may never leaf out; expect most, if not all new growth to come from the roots. If you want to check for root development after 6 - 7 weeks, dig very gently, 2” - 3” away from the cane. Be careful not to damage delicate new sprouts that have not yet broken the soil surface.
