When planting a young tree, ensuring it gets the right amount of water in the right place is crucial for strong roots & successful establishment.
As a specialist tree nursery, planting new trees is something we do as a regular part of our seasonal routines. There is one thing we do as a matter of course here in the nursery, that we’ve realised that not everyone knows about. It is a simple planting tip that ensures the water you give your young trees actually gets to where it’s needed. Which in turn is hugely beneficial to root growth and successful establishment.
Hear Philip, our founder, explain and demonstrate in this short video, so that you can join us is this simple technique to give your young trees the best possible chance of strong establishment.
