Trees - Evergreen

Evergreen trees provide a constant structure to the garden. Indeed trees are very much the backbone of the garden. There’s a great diversity to choose from in terms of form, foliage and flower types. Trees provide great benefits particularly in our warm Summers where their valuable shade reduces heat build-up in hard surfaces like paved areas and of course our houses. As trees are the largest and longest lived plants in the garden it is worth taking extra care when planting them. Dig a hole at least as deep as the rootball and twice as wide. Mix in Dawson’s Soil Improver with your existing soil at the rate of 1 part of soil improver to 2 parts soil. See our Planting guide for further planting tips.
