Every year, hundreds of thousands of trees are planted around the UK but for them to stand the best chance of surviving, they will need some basic aftercare.
Those involved in planting have a vital role to play in this next stage. Simple actions such as weeding, watering, and checking guards, stakes and ties at key times can significantly improve a tree’s chances of successful establishment.
This guide provides detailed information on the care and maintenance of newly planted trees to enhance their survival and growth.
‘Caring for newly planted trees’ was produced thanks to support from National Highways and its 3 Million Trees initiative.
