Upon potting the collected tree into a training box I set the intact root ball onto a shallow layer of soil and then work the soil around all sides, then I slightly cover all the surface plants with a thin layer of soil as I have found that they respond much better this way and will grow up through the soil in a couple of weeks. Pictures 4 and 5 show the potted tree with the surface plants covered mostly with a soil mix consisting of 70% lava rock, 10% turface, and 20% fir bark. Picture 6 shows the completed potted tree.
