Tree Planting in Heavy Clay

Tips, Tricks

1. I live halfway between an abandoned clay mine and an aggregate mine where they take rocks out of the soil and use it for making roads and concrete. Once I wet the soil, and pull the rocks out, I can sculpt figures out of it. A shovel will go in about 2" if I (250lb) jump on it. I live in a hot climate that gets well into the 110s. I've had great luck with roses, geraniums, artichokes, plums, cherries, figs, and the California fan palms that will grow anywhere in sidewalk cracks here, but not much else.
2. can you plant lemon indoors
3. The picture she is showing shows the hole is 3 times the diameter of the root ball and not two times like she says is minimum. Clay soil is too compact and restrict water penetration and root growth. Back filling with the clay soil dug out will lead to small, under nourish tree. I would suggest mixing good compost into clay soil to get a more loamy soil. Tree has a better chance with a rich soil than just clay.
