when planting trees, I put a 1″ pvc pipe in the hole at an angle and then plant the tree with the root top just above the ground. when you water, put the hose into the pipe and water at the root zone. that causes the trees to root downward and in your winds, stand better.
Tree and shrub planting tip from an old Midwest landscaper: leave the burlap and wire on the root ball. It helps to minimize damage to the root system. The burlap and wire will eventually rot / rust, and the roots will easily penetrate through as the plant grows and gets established.
