Human: How do I plant a tree? Assistant: 

1. Choose a spot to plant your tree. Select an area that has enough sunlight and has good drainage.
2. Dig a hole for the tree that is at least twice as wide as your tree's root ball and deep enough for the roots to be completely covered.
3. Place the tree in the hole and spread the roots in all directions.
4. Backfill the hole, pressing the soil down firmly as you go.
5. Water the tree deeply and thoroughly, allowing water to stand for a few minutes before discarding any excess.
6. Add a layer of mulch around the trunk and roots of the tree.
7. Monitor the tree's water, soil and sun requirements and prune occasionally to encourage healthy growth.
