Planting Trees
Hi
We have recently moved to a house in Mid Wales (Near Brecon, Moist soil) with a half acre garden but few trees, I want to start planting more trees ASAP. Can anyone advise what is the earliest I could safely plant Mountain Ash, Robinia Frisia and Weeping Willow. Any other tips on what to plant would be very welcome Thanks Mark |

I would question the planting of Robinia, non native and wont be as tough as the others you listed, Why not add Cherry, Bird cherry and Crab Apple. David Hill Abacus Nurseries |
