Large trees on our nursery

Planting a large-sized tree has a huge effect on its surroundings. Compared to planting several small trees, the effect is significantly different. A large tree gives more impression and a more mature result than a row of small trees. The actions surrounding the planting of a large-sized tree and the aftercare in the first years after planting are crucial for success. There are numerous decisive reasons to decide to plant a large tree. The most important factors are time and ecological value.

Landscape-wise, planting a large-sized tree has an immediate impact, simply by creating a huge spatial effect and providing a lot of privacy. In addition, a large tree brings a large leaf volume to its surroundings, which improves the living environment. Because of its larger canopy, a large tree can absorb more carbon dioxide, capture particulates and release more oxygen than a small tree. A large tree has much greater ecological value. Planting immediately creates a lot of space for biodiversity, including by providing nesting and shelter for insects, birds and small mammals. Flowering trees also provide pollen and nectar, which is important for insects, which are then food for other animals. The roots of large trees also help better retain soil and prevent erosion. This effect cannot be directly achieved by planting several small trees.

Purchasing a large tree means planting time and craftsmanship. Years of care are spent to grow the tree into a unique form. The growing process focuses on preparing the tree for its final planting site. Large trees need sufficient nutrients from organic matter, such as compost, to grow healthily. Regular transplanting and pruning of the tree at the nursery creates a nicely shaped crown with a regularly branched structure, while allowing the root system to adapt well to the new location. This controlled growth slows down the development of the tree, contributing to its quality and life expectancy. Growing large trees requires a high degree of skill, which is immediately visible at planting and saves costs. Thanks to this care during cultivation, a strong and good tree is created partly because only the best trees make it to the finish line as large trees.
