A Tip for your project...

Grading your trees

We encourage you to grade your trees. We have developed grades that are a good guideline:

 

Permanent

Long-lived specimen trees that all others must give away to; these should be the main features of the garden/habitat.

 

Semi-permanent

Trees are the shorter lived trees that are still main features but with their grade, there should be thought in planting in anticipation for removal, when past their peak or are becoming a hazard to the permanent trees. They can be used and enjoyed for a longer period by directional pruning from the permanent trees, and from the new tree planted to take their place.

 

Temporary

Trees are used as an initial wind protection, usually hardy and quick growing. When they have created a shelter, an extensive plant should take place. When the plant out is performing and gaining strength, the temporary tree should be removed before it gets too big.

 

Service Trees

Hedges or trees that are on a program. These provide wind protection, noise reduction, privacy etc.
