Planting trees normally involves buying seedlings or saplings, but why not look at starting from the very beginning?
TCV’s* guidance on growing trees includes everything from collecting tree seed to growing them to finally planting them out as saplings. Their ‘Growing our native trees from seed,’ although focused on Ireland, has lots of useful info specific to the types of native trees that we see in and around Abingdon. Pages 4 and 5, on native trees and shrub and their preferred conditions, is particularly useful when deciding what trees to plant where!
