Planting and start
Ornamental trees are best planted in autumn or early spring. Make sure you have a spacious planting hole and well-loosened, nutritious soil. Water sufficiently after planting to allow the tree to take root well.
Stand and soil
The right location is important for beautiful growth and flowering.
- Most ornamental trees grow best in a sunny to semi-shaded location
- Well-drained soil prevents root problems
- Shelter from strong winds helps young trees grow better
Care during the year
- Give extra water during dry periods, especially in the early years
- Mulch around the trunk improves the soil and retains moisture
- Light fertilisation can be given in spring
Pruning and maintenance
Pruning ornamental trees varies by species.
- Prune only when necessary to maintain shape or health
- Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches
- Leave the natural growth form intact as much as possible
With proper care, ornamental trees develop into strong eye-catchers that add atmosphere and structure to the garden for many years.
