Trees are a fantastic addition to the garden – not only are they beautiful to look at but they also provide a habitat and food for wildlife too. If you are planning to plant a tree in your garden and are unsure where to start, here are some of the things to think about before doing so…
Size of the Tree when Fully Grown – Something that you need to find out before you do any tree planting is what size the tree will be when it is fully grown. If you want a tree that is more or less fully grown then semi mature trees from somewhere like this www.naturefirst.co.uk/semi-mature-trees/ give you the tree that you want straight away and you also will have a good idea of its final size.
The Land you are Planting it on – Different trees suit different habitats, so being aware of the soil and the amount of water, sun and shade it will get in a certain position is important. You also need to consider the proximity of the tree to other structures, especially as it grows larger.
Caring for the Tree – In order to ensure that you have a healthy garden tree for years to come, make sure that you are aware of the needs of the tree and how to care for it. Generally, native trees are easier to care for as they are suited to the climate, but even these need to be cared for to make sure that they are healthy.
