Should I keep the base of my tree free of grass?
Grass roots are extremely competitive and can be detrimental to tree roots and thus it is important to keep the base of your tree free from grass and weed roots.
The easiest way to ensure that these do not cause havoc is to place a bark mulch of 5cm over the base of the tree, we recommend a circle around the base of the tree with a diameter of 1m.
Bark mulch is a component of our Planting Kit and thus will come with your tree should you purchase a planting kit.
