Do I need to stake my trees? If so how do I do it?

It is recommended that newly planted trees are staked for the first two seasons following planting. The function of staking is to enable the tree some time to establish anchor roots to hold it upright before subjecting it to the perils of harsh weather conditions.

You will be prompted to purchase a Planting Kit at the time of order, this contains the equipment required for staking your trees. Barcham recommend that two stakes are used in conjunction with rubber tie for each tree. Stakes can then be driven either side of the root system, and the tie connected to the stake at the very top, around the stem and back to the stake.

Please see the Planting Guide for the full details.
