Tree planting is not only a great way to enhance the beauty of your garden but also to encourage wildlife.

When choosing which tree to plant choosing a native species will support a wider range of plants and insects which then provide food for birds and mammals, than non-native exotic species, native species are more likely to thrive in challenging weather conditions and importantly maintaining local landscape and heritage. hollywoodfoodstyling

Depending on your garden size there are plenty of native species to choose from, based upon what you are trying to achieve within your garden.

Positioning of your tree is key, and will save future problems, by knowing how big your tree will be when it’s fully grown is a crucial to know, its important to take into account proximity to buildings, electricity lines, blocking neighbours views and drainage.

The best time to plant your trees and shrubs is early spring or autumn, this is due to the trees being dormant at this time, so minimal damage will be done to the tree when planting, also the soil is in good conditions, being warm from the summer, and moist from fall.

Pruning should also be done in around this time if necessary, as its likely all birds and mammals living within the tree will have relocated due to its leaves being shed. palosverdeslifestyle
