Young Tree Establishment Series

In addition to the popular guides to tree watering and young tree aftercare launched over the past 18 months, the AA has produced two more posters aimed at educating the general public on tree care best practice.

The latest additions to the Young Tree Establishment suite of documents are ‘What to plant?’ and ‘Where to plant a tree’. They have been released as a pair, with the decision about what and where to plant often going hand in hand. The former sets out some considerations to take into account when deciding on species selection, while the latter focuses on the short, medium and particularly the long-term implications.

Following the successful introduction of the AA’s tree watering campaign in 2020, which has since been translated into several languages, the ‘Guide to Young Tree Aftercare’ was launched during National Tree Week in 2021, providing an easy-to-follow young tree maintenance programme for at least two or three years.

The downloadable guidance forms part of the Arboricultural Association’s Guide to Tree Establishment series.
