Celebrate Tree Week

Its National Tree Week: as good an affirmation of spring as any.. The very best way to celebrate this is to go down to your local nursery or garden centre and select a tree that is suitable for your plot.. Sound advice is always to hand in the better outlets.

Before purchase, think of the space that is available, the time span you are happy with to achieve a return on your planting.  If you can only fit one tree, make sure it delivers for your eyes, for wildlife, preferably a feature for two or more seasons, and most importantly, is suited to its site.
