I’ve to plant over 30 and a hedge for REPS.
Definitely…. my sister-in-law passed away earlier this year and I want to plant a tree in her memory, in my lawn – probably a sweet chestnut, beautiful tree that will be there long after me!
Yes, a definite yes! We will be planting a tree this year. My mem made my hubby/+1/better half/best friend a gift. Now, would one hundred euros be enough to buy and plant a real good ‘lijsterbes’(sorbus)? as that is the tree she would like best, because of the bright coloured berries when everything else seems to have gone to rest for the winter.
@ simon – what girth and what’s the setting ?
@pam – I reckon your sister-in-law would be pretty chuffed knowing that you are doing so.
@aafke i’ve about 10 sorbus in my own garden. 100 should do nicely for a nice enough one. staked and tied of course
Stakes and ties won’t be an issue ¦ↁ
There are (or should i say ‘were’) a few already, but the funny thing is they don’t seem to have a real long life. Maybe the n-midlands soil is too wet or too acid. Can you recommend a nursery, as we best get one from a place were they are grown in similar circumstances?
Hawthorn hedge, staggered setting, not sure on spacing. Trees are about 2″ diameter.
@ aafke
personally, i’d choose the tree first… soil shouldn’t too much matter really.
sorbus aucuparia maybe ?
@ simon
nice choice of native hedge. great to hear. recommends spacing approx 3 / metre squared
what trees ?
amn’t I awful inquisitive
