Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container

Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container
Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
