Winter is tree planting season, so I’m including all trees, in this months to do list. Make the most of this seasonal planting opportunity! As well as planting deciduous fruit trees, get onto shelter plantings – it’s so important for your food gardens to be tucked away from big winds, and use this once a year moment to restore your land + community. With trees, of course! They’re the very best!
Plant deciduous fruit trees, nuts, berries, currants, gooseberries and shelter trees.
Ponder your landscape and consider where you could fit more trees in, without blocking light to house + gardens.
If your land is tiny or you’ve fully planted every opportunity, stretch out into community planting programmes or donate to the wonderful Trees That Count.
Prune berries, currants, grapes, feijoas, avocados and deciduous fruit trees for best health and better fruits, next year.
