WHY CELL GROWN?

RELIABLE - quality roots means successful first time establishment saving money in the long term.
EXTENDED PLANTING SEASON - our plants can be planted almost all year round.
FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY - their long shelf life means no huge rush to plant upon arrival.

These are just a few good reasons why cell grown plants can help to save you money when buying from Cheviot Trees.

WHAT TYPE OF TREE SHELTER DO I NEED?

If protection is required for the Acer pseudoplatanus - Sycamore then you may wish to consider Tubex Standard tree shelters which will provide sufficient space for this species’ larger size of leaf.

Find out more about the benefits of tree shelters and information on sizing on our Tree Shelter Guide page.

WEED CONTROL AND MULCHING

Don't forget that good weed control around newly planted trees and shrubs is vital to reduce moisture stress and competition. This will improve plant survival and enhance growth.

You may prefer to use our range of mulch mats and pegs, including our 100% biodegradable BioJute Mulch Mat, in order to avoid having to spray herbicide.

Give your plants the best start possible by using our professional Controlled Release Fertiliser granules when planting.

The use of improved planting stock should be a priority when timber production is a management objective of woodland creation and reforestation. The higher yield and better form of this material makes it the best option for timber production, while its genetic diversity can provide a better chance of adapting to future climate and invasive pests and diseases.

Cheviot Trees produce cell grown plants grown from Improved seed sources. The breeding work to produce this seed was carried out by the Future Trees Trust.
