This planting site backs onto a chain of named woodland set in North Yorkshireโs beautiful landscape, just outside Hutton Rudby village.
We have chosen to plant a combination of shrubs, minor broadleaves and trees here because the site has a propensity to be quite wet for prolonged periods and there is a small risk of flooding. Because of these conditions, we have chosen to avoid planting species that are less likely to thrive, focussing instead on plants that can tolerate moist, slightly acidic, conditions.
Trees were planted as bare rooted 40-60cm whips and were protected with 1.2m tree tubes and stakes in clusters of the same species, randomly spaced. Shrubs protected with 75cm shrub guards and stakes. Random gaps were left to provide open areas in the woodland.
