Complete tree management for the next generation 

It’s all about the preparation – in the foot of Roundway Hill near Devizes

Before the planting, we sowed a legume mix back in September,  then the lines were marked out with GPS then sprayed out to create a suitable planting area. Deer fence next on the to do job list

Tree planting scheme Southstoke near Bath February 2024

It’s not all about felling trees!  this week Tad and the team completed a new planting scheme on the edge of Bath.

The project was for 1.16ha (= 11600 (m2) with 1344 trees in 1.2m tubes.

The trees included mixed broadleaves including oak & beech, as well as field maple, wild service and hazel.

If the wild service tree isn’t as familiar to you as the others, then ” it’s a deciduous broadleaf which can reach 25m when mature.

(Sorbus torminalis) – the bark is brown and patterned with cracked, square plates, and the twigs are slender, shiny, grey-brown and straight”.
