Master Class: Trees – Choosing the types, placement & care tips
A tree is an investment. It will become a feature in your garden, develop a root system and eventually shade part of the garden. Tree selection and placement are important decisions one makes when landscaping or replacing a tree in your garden. Matching the tree to the site benefits both the tree and you! This session will provide insight around:
- Which types of trees to plant
- Indigenous or not?
- Placement and avoiding current set ups eg/solar.
- What the trees need to be the healthiest (soil microbial activity)
- How to care for trees – pruning / disease
- The importance of ground water – permeable surfaces!!
