Synopsis

Practical guidance for growing and enjoying trees. This book, originally titled Trees and Tree-Planting, offers accessible insights on selecting species, site needs, and care for long-term tree health and usefulness.

Drawing on firsthand observations, it covers how European larch performs in different climates, where it grows best, and how to plan a planting program that yields strong, healthy trees. It also shares veteran advice on seed quality, sourcing from reliable suppliers, and steps to maximize germination and establishment.

- Learn which trees adapt well to upland soils, and which are better avoided in damp plains.
- Get clear, actionable tips on seed selection, sowing, planting depth, and early care.
- Read a practical farmer’s account of establishing thousands of larches and managing weeds, shade, and irrigation in the first seasons.
- Discover cautions about seed lots and the value of robust, region-appropriate stock.

Ideal for gardeners, orchardists, and landowners who want durable, ornamental, and productive trees, backed by real-world experience.

If you are planning a tree-based landscape or a timber-producing project, this title helps you make informed, steady progress from choosing seed to seeing mature trees thrive.
