Frequently asked questions
Q. When
should I plant my trees?
A. From June to August when the trees are dormant. Cold or high country
areas can be planted as late as September. On plains sites where ground may
turn dry in the spring, trees should be planted early (June/July).
Q.
Do I have to collect all of my order at one time?
A. No. Collection over several days or throughout the winter is fine.
Q. I
need a competent planter. Who should I ask?
A. Talk to us. We can recommend Quality planting contractors are in high
demand. Book them early.
Q.
Should I spot spray prior to planting?
A. For forestry trees - No. There are excellent post plant herbicides
available which can be sprayed over or around trees. However amenity and
shelter trees are more sensitive. Pre-spraying with Glyphosate will help.
Call Derrick he'll put you on the right track.
Q.
Can I plant trees at wide spacing so I do not have to thin my forest?
A. No. Wide spacing produces trees with larger branches and lowers the
timber quality.
Q.
How many trees should I plant per hectare?
A. 1,000-1,400 trees per hectare depending on species, genetic quality of
treestocks or whether your site is clean or weedy (gorse/broom).
Q.
Why use a winged ripper?
A. The wing impacts soil upwards shattering hard pans and cultivating a
wide root development area. Correct planting depth and root alignment
become easier. Early tree growth is greatly enhanced.
Q.
How many forest trees can I plant in a day?
A. Forestry contractors may plant 1,000, but you should initially work on
about 400 per day.
