Without doubt, the successful establishment of trees,
particularly those the size of standards and above, requires
a specialist service involving a 'one-stop shop'.
The advantages of such a service are:
- advice and support
- one point of contact
- experienced and dedicated team
- lowest possible failure rate with any replacements covered by
the full aftercare period
- no-quibble guarantee since the entire process is under the
control of one company *
The key areas for consideration are:
- securing quality trees
- supplying nursery-fresh to site
- thorough pit preparation
- careful handling and planting
- immediate and sustained maintenance during establishment period
Key dangers to avoid:
- trees unsuitable for the location
- trees sourced without the control of when were lifted and how
were packaged
- site storage leading to exposure to frost, damage and drying
out
- water-logged pits and/or impoverished or contaminated soil
- inadequate supporting method
- inadequate irrigation for water-demanding situations such as
for container grown trees
- inflexible maintenance regime unable to react to rapid weather
changes e.g. drying out
- not just about watering, but understanding the specific tree
requirements
