About the shelterbelt tree pack

Planting advice
You can mix species at random or plant smaller shrubs down one edge to create a graded woodland, which may improve the value for shelter and wildlife.
For more detail on each tree, see the Species information tab.

Tree protection options
It’s important to consider if your saplings need protection, particularly from browsing mammals. You can choose to purchase tree protection alongside your saplings.
Choose from:
No tree protection
Choose this if your saplings are unlikely to be affected by browsing mammals, or if you have alternative plans for tree protection. For example, browsing reduction or fencing.
Easywrap and canes
Easywrap and canes are perfect for protecting your trees when smaller mammals may be a risk.
Tubes and stakes
Provides protection from small and large mammals. Tubes will also promote quicker upward growth.
