How to Plant Cell Grown Trees
The traditional planting season is from late autumn to March/April, but as noted above, cell grown trees, shrubs and hedging can be planted almost anytime of the year; though avoid dry periods of weather, as newly planted whips will need to be watered well until established.
When your trees arrive they should be handled with care, kept upright and ideally kept by a north facing wall away from strong sunlight and out of the wind. And, make sure you protected plants from mice and other animals who may like to eat them.
Ensure your trees are kept moist, if weather if dry or windy, water using a normal rose on a watering can or hose. The best way to judge how damp plants should be kept is to see how wet they are when they arrive and use this as a reference.
It is best to plant your trees within a week or two weeks of arrival.
