When to plant kilmarnock willows
I posted a couple of weeks ago about a Kilmarnock willow and have decided to
go ahead and buy one, but is this the best time to plant a new one, or would I be better off waiting till spring? -- I used to be a bighead Now I am perfect :o) |

I think the general theory is that one should plant hedging and trees in autumn (wait a bit yet) so that the root system has a chance to establish and develop before it has to support rising sap and leaf and stem growth. Also the theory goes that it should be wetter in autumn and winter so you don't have to water quite so much. -- ned |
