Things to Think About When Planting a Tree in your Garden
Adding a tree to your garden is not only beneficial to you but also to the local wildlife. Trees are valuable to many different creatures and provide food and shelter, but how do you go about picking the right tree for your garden and also finding the right place to put it? Here are some of the things to think about to help you to do that…
The Type of Soil and Environment – Different trees do well in different conditions and soil types. Some trees like the Alder love a damp habitat, and others prefer a certain type of soil. Find out if you don’t already know the type of soil that you have in your garden and what trees are well suited to it, as well as the location.
The Size of the Tree When Fully Grown – It is important to be aware of how big the tree will end up growing eventually. If you are planting a tree that is a sapling, do your research on what to expect from its growth. Something that you can do is to buy semi-mature trees from somewhere like this naturefirst.co.uk/semi-mature-trees/ that has semi mature trees for sale and then you will have a good idea of the size.
How to Take Good Care of the Tree – As with any plant, you may need to give your tree some care from time to time. Some trees need more care than others and the needs will vary from tree to tree. Make sure that you look up how to take care of the type of tree that you choose.
