No, I don't take the netting off. I figure the roots will grow right through it.

Should I be removing it?

Try it both ways and see. I had a customer come in and complain about a fruit tree that died—not one of ours. He’d had this tree planted for about 10 years. When he dug it up, it had died because the roots were still encased in the original burlap. He didn’t remove it when he planted—instructions said not to. Most places it will dissolve.

Our soil here on the coast is so acidic it acts like a peat bog.

Your mileage may vary but you could plant half of them with the netting on and half with the netting off and report back later in the year on the results
