In order to ensure that you are supplied with the desired trees and plants, the following descriptions are important in the specifications:
The full botanical name
The size
trees: trunk circumference, measured a metre from the base
shrubs: height
other planting: pot size
The quantity
The height at which the tree's crown should begin
The number of times the tree has been replanted at the nursery if necessary
For multi-stem trees, the description in the specifications needs to be more detailed than for standard trees. It's important to state the following clearly:
The minimum number of stems
One individual or several individuals
The height and possibly the width
The height at which the tree's crown should begin
Clarification: a multi-stem that consists of one individual is often more expensive than several individuals planted together, due to the required care and training at the nursery. There are species in which several individuals planted together will grow together to form a beautiful multi-stem. But, in other species, competition develops between individuals if they are planted together and the final look will not be harmonious. In other words, one or more of the stems will grow better or one of the individuals may even die. In this case, planting a multi-stem that consists of a single individual is preferable. Our tree specialists will be happy to provide you with advice on making the right choice for your green project.
Trees that determine the look for part of the plan should be described in more detail in the specifications. This could include multi-stem trees, characteristic trees or other unusual species and shapes. These trees have a unique appearance, there is no common growth habit. We recommend coming to our nursery to select the trees that will determine the look yourself. This way the quality will be ensured within the available budget and there is the option of reconsidering the choice of species where necessary, or adjusting the size and/or form of the trees.
