Always dig a hole that is three times wider and at least twice as deep as the container the tree came in. You will want to amend the soil that you will use to fill in the void area around the root ball once you transfer the tree over to your freshly dug hole. I've always used a 50-50 mix of native dirt (what you dug out of the hole) and some sort of high quality potting soil or compost.
Mulch the area around the trunk of the tree once planting is finished and then figure out some way of keeping it well watered for the first couple of months. They make specialized drip bags for this purpose.

Also on container grown trees it helps to loosen the bottom of the rootball. Most container grown trees root tend to grow in circles around the container. If not pulled out a little may continue to grow in a circle in the hole. Particularly on hard or rocky soils. Also factor in Soil Ph and Where you are planting what will this tree look like when mature. You don’t want to have to cut it down because it was planted to close too something
