This weekend we planted trees in a corner and along the fence line of a new paddock.
I wanted to plant native trees, but also did some green and copper beech (they just fit the bill for horse fields so nicely!)
So in the end we planted:
6 alder - native, good for damper spots
8 beech - fast growing, good shelter belt trees
2 Scot Pines - native, conifers for a bit of variety
1 oak tree - native (away from the field - acorns can be toxic to horses)
We also dotted some small hawthorn trees (native) around for that wonderful white in May and planted two hazel trees (native).
Who needs the gym?
Big thanks to who have been so helpful and provided such beautiful, healthy trees exactly on time for our planting day!
