Even though some of the trees we've planted will never be truly magnificent in our lifetime, they will be one day, and hopefully will make this little corner of Welsh hillside even more lovely to look at and more abundant for the wildlife.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-67593556052135998282015-03-05T08:12:14.054+00:002015-03-05T08:12:14.054+00:00I think bare rooted trees are much better than pot...I think bare rooted trees are much better than pot grown. They seem to get away faster. Good luck with the nut trees. My friend has what she grandly calls an arboretum in her field. Lots of lovely trees with a couple of walnuts too. I hope yours grow well.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769428408767311874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-3620741824092871512015-03-05T03:18:11.712+00:002015-03-05T03:18:11.712+00:00How long from the time they are planted can you ex...How long from the time they are planted can you expect a yield?

That's a great collection to plant. I planted so many trees back in my last garden, fruit, natives, ornamentals. I miss them all. Hopefully once I get my own garden again there will be lots of space for trees. I think if you can do one good thing for nature and the planet it is plant as many trees as possible.The Quirky Bird Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857611654337366532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-25771552228506126482015-03-04T18:03:06.248+00:002015-03-04T18:03:06.248+00:00Nut trees of this age and type aren't cheap so...Nut trees of this age and type aren't cheap so not many nurseries stock them, the only way to get them was like this as bare rooted and virtual bare-rooted mature trees on good root stock.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-91744259117340227002015-03-04T18:01:27.149+00:002015-03-04T18:01:27.149+00:00Lol ....
