Trees
are one of the most important features of the English landscape.
To maintain the tree population in the country, we need to
plant seven million more per year.
Trees
are in your garden for a long time, so it is important to
choose correctly, remembering the height and width to which
they may eventually grow.
Trees can be grown for their flower, fruit
or leaf colour and are essential to many species of bird
and animal life which we love to see.
Planting
can be undertaken throughout the year providing the ground
is not frozen, waterlogged or under drought conditions.
MAKE SURE THAT TREES
ARE FIRMLY STAKED IN THEIR EARLY YEARS.
(Extra heavy trees need a stake at either side and tree ties
to support.)
