Question 3

What is the best way to plant and shape a tree?

Accepted Answer

When buying a tree, choose one with a single leader if possible. If not, start pruning early to shape it. The earlier you prune, the better the long-term result. Avoid shaping trees into a ball, as this can cause multiple injuries, rot, and create entry points for diseases and insects, while also hindering aeration.

Question 4

How should trees be fertilized?

Accepted Answer

Always fertilize trees at the branch tips, mirroring the root system. Use a drilling tool to create holes 20-30mm in diameter and 20-40cm deep, about 60cm from the trunk. Create another circle a meter outside the canopy, alternating holes and fertilizing there. Dose the fertilizer according to the tree's size and follow the bag's instructions.
