🎉 Wrap Up the Season with Big Savings! Spend £100, Save 10% | Spend £250, Save 20% | Spend £500, Save 30%! 🛍️ Don’t miss out—sale ends January 15th! 🎊

This Tree Planting Kit includes everything you should need to support your standard tree in the first couple of years, helping to keep the roots of the young plants still while they establish. They are suitable for feathered and standard trees. Buying this kit gives you a saving of up to £4.

 

The kit includes:
- 1 x Machine rounded stake
- 1 x Tree Tie

- 1 x Spiral Guard

- 1 x 60g Rootgrow
- 1 x Eco Mulch Mat
- 5 x Weed Mat Pegs

 

How to stake a tree:
- plant the tree as normal but don't completely back fill the pit
- knock the stake into the bottom of the pit, on the windward side of the tree, as close as possible to the rootball
- the stake should be no higher than one-third the height of the tree
- backfill the hole
- loosely attach the stake to the tree using a tree tie - this should form a figure of eight with a spacer between the tree and the stake to prevent any rubbing
- most ties will need nailing to the stake to prevent them from slipping, buckle ends should be against the stake rather than the tree and should be nailed in place
- check the tree and stake regularly and remove the tie at the beginning of the second growing season, by which time the tree should be securely anchored by its own roots.

 

For container-grown or rootballed trees, an angled stake can be used instead to prevent damaging the rootball. Put the stake at an angle of 45 degrees, positoned away from the prevailing wind so it is not loosened by the wind.
