Forestry plants for biodiversity
When you choose forestry plants, you choose more life in the garden or landscape. Many species in the range provide flowers, berries, nectar, pollen, shelter and nesting opportunities. Flowering shrubs attract bees, bumblebees and butterflies, while berry-bearing species are attractive to birds.
Species such as Cornus mas , Amelanchier lamarckii , Euonymus europaeus and Viburnum opulus are highly suitable for natural and wildlife-friendly planting. By combining several species, you create a varied planting scheme that offers value for people, wildlife and the landscape across different seasons.
For extra biodiversity, you can choose mixed planting with species that complement one another in flowering period, fruiting, growth speed and height. This creates a natural structure with more shelter, food and variety.
When should forestry plants be planted?
Forestry plants are usually planted when the plants are dormant. This is generally from autumn to early spring, depending on the weather conditions and the form in which the plants are supplied. During this period, young trees and shrubs often establish well because they lose less moisture and can use their energy for root growth.
Plant preferably in autumn, winter or early spring
Avoid planting during frost, extreme wet conditions or prolonged drought
Ensure the soil is well prepared, loose and free from weeds
Take the correct planting distance into account for each species and application
Water sufficiently after planting, especially during dry periods
Combine several species for a natural, strong and varied planting structure
Planting distance and planting forestry plants
The correct planting distance depends on the purpose of the planting. For a dense natural hedge or boundary, plants are often placed closer together than for a broad hedgerow, shelterbelt or woodland edge. In mixed planting, it is important to consider the eventual height, width and vigour of the different species.
Would you like to create full planting quickly? Choose a higher planting density and combine species with different growth habits. For a natural landscape effect, you can plant in groups or staggered rows. This creates a varied appearance that fits better with natural planting.
