[IBC] Large Beech collecting
Our club has been offered the opportunity to collect a 42 year old
Purple Beech Hedge before a road widening scheme goes ahead. I met with the groundsman who originally planted them today. He was delighted that they could possibly be rescued. Unfortunately this is going to happen in the next few weeks, the height of summer here and it is getting relatively warm and sunny. There will be a JCB (digger), many club members and a car trailer available to make collection of relatively large rootballs easy. I'm wondering how I can increase chances of survival apart from the usual reduction of tops, watering 'em in well and keeping part shaded/sheltered. Anyone have experience of collecting Fagus sylvatica especially Purpurea out of season? Thanks Kev Bailey Vale Of Clwyd, North Wales --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
