Planning for Winter

Before the leaves are fully off the trees it is important to check your new trees planted last winter to assess the numbers which have not survived and require replanting this coming winter. The ideal is to undertaken this assessment after the first season or summer in growth although it can be completed up to 3 summers following planting. However the longer you leave this assessment the more difficult it is to replant due to the coarse ground vegetation which can develop.

Any dead trees must be marked with a dot of spray paint and the total numbers counted. Make sure you place your order with the tree nursery early in the season to ensure you get the pick of the planting stock for this season.
