Description

The tree staking kits contain everything needed to securely stake trees. Staking newly planted trees is important to prevent root rock and allows trees to establish more easily. The stakes can be removed after 18 months to 2 years.

The tree stake and tie is ideal for trees up to 250cm in height at time of planting. It contains a weatherproof stake (150cm length x 5cm diameter) and a horticultural grade soft buckle tie. The buckle tie can be adjusted and includes a spacer to avoid the stake chaffing the tree.

The larger staking kits are for trees over 250cm at time of planting; the extra large kit is advised for mature trees with big crowns or in exposed sites. The kits contain two tanalised timber stakes (150 x 5cm or 240 x 6cm) to be placed at each side of the tree, cross bar, belting, nails and rubber spacer block to prevent the tree rubbing.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
