Two people use a wheelbarrow and rake to dump mulch around the base of a newly-planted orchard tree. The tree is a slender truck painted white, tied to a stake, and protected by a cylindrical cage.
After the trees have been planted, staked, and caged, 2-3 inches of mulch is added to the surface of the mound. A clearing is maintained between the trunk and the edge of the mulch.
