This planting season has seen us plant 4,000 trees in the form of new hedgerows and woodland. We have also planted some in-field trees and windbreak barriers. A hedge we planted 5 years ago is now 12ft wide and really strong so the results are worth waiting for. We have planted 620 metres of new hedgerow, a 300 tree copse and some specimen trees for structure. The interesting areas for us are an experiment with a 50 metre run of red dogwood and smaller runs of field crabapple and wild rose. We have also planted a run of 30 poplars to give one of the rides a more imposing setting. The picture here shows the specimen paper birch trees at the house entrance opposite the manege. Most of our trees are sourced locally from Hopes Grove Nurseries in Tenterden, Kent. We have found he quality of the trees and the advice to be excellent.
