No one wants a dead tree, and we certainly don’t want one of our trees to go into your place and drop dead on you. Ensuring the best survival rate for your newly planted trees involves a few key steps, and we’re here to guide you through the process to maximize your success.
Our Commitment to Quality
First and foremost, if there is ever an issue with any of our plants that leave the nursery—though rare—get in touch with us. We will replace it completely free of charge. However, once the trees are in the ground, their survival largely depends on proper care and preparation.
Key Factors for High Survival Rates
Site Preparation: A well-prepped site is crucial. This includes removing weeds, reducing grass competition, and ensuring the soil is in good condition.
Planting Techniques: Proper planting is essential. Ensure the hole is the right size, roots are spread out, and the soil is packed firmly around the tree.
Release Spraying: Post-planting care through release spraying helps control weeds and grasses that can compete with your trees for nutrients and light.
Expected Survival Rates
With proper site preparation, planting, and release spraying, you can expect a survival rate of 85-95%, which is the industry standard. This range accounts for the natural variations and challenges in outdoor planting.
Weather and Other Variables
Adverse weather conditions can impact survival rates, potentially lowering them to the bottom end of the spectrum. On the other hand, neglecting site preparation, improper planting, and failing to perform release spraying can drastically reduce survival rates to 50-60%.
Ask us for tips on site preparation, planting, and post-planting care. By following these best practices, you can achieve a survival rate of 85-95%. Remember, trees are living things, and while some may not survive, the majority will thrive, filling in any gaps left by the few that don’t make it.
Ensuring the best survival rate for your trees involves careful preparation and proper care. Reach out to us for advice and support, and with the right approach, your trees will thrive and contribute to a beautiful, healthy environment.
