Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Late Autumn
In spring or autumn, prepare a hole deep enough to allow at least 30cm of extra depth for potting soil, and approximately twice as wide as the root ball to allow for soil mixed with nutrients. Choose a spacious area as this tree will grow to very large proportions., avoiding proximitey to walls, houses or underground service pipes and cables. Add to the hole, a substantial amount of well rotted compost to help retain moisture whilst establishing and to feed the young tree in its early life.
