Default Lebelling my arboretum

The message
from GardenerHarry contains
these words:


Hello! I have just bought my dream home in the countryside of England
with a large garden. We are lucky enough to have a beautiful arboretum
at the back of the garden. I would really like to label the trees here
as there are many different kinds however I am not sure as to how to
label them so as not to spoil the look. Would anyone be able to suggest
a lebelling method?


Try copper labels, available in the UK from Lakeland, and Andrew
Grace. Names are easily indented (permanently) with the tip of a biro.
The copper soon weathers to a discreet matt brown and will last many
decades. They can be attached with copper wire, but this needs regular
checking to make sure it doesn't constrict growth.
