King and Co’s 2019 Tree Nursery Update

Now that Christmas is fading into the distance, a reminder that there is no time to lose with bareroot plantings. Remember to account for the lead time required for obtaining all your plants and accessories.

January is the optimum time for this job as the plants are still fully dormant and the risk of losses is minimal. You can also try to aim for a ‘weather window’ when drying winds and frost make planting conditions more favorable at this time of year. As the season lengthens the manufacturers of tree protection products will quote longer and longer lead times for delivery and it is so easy to be caught with all the plants ready to go but nothing in the way of tree shelters or rabbit guards due to shortages.

Spiral Guards

Tree stakes are also limited in supply as most are imported from places such as Latvia and arrive by boat at irregular intervals. Getting the correct sizes for your protection products will be less likely as the season gets longer. Additionally, the earlier your plants arrive in the soil, the longer they have to absorb moisture and nutrients ready for the huge effort required at springtime. Finally, if you know your requirements let us know and we will reserve everything for you until you’re ready to go.
