What species to plant
Different trees have different purposes and needs. Choose your species according to the land you have and what you want from your trees.

Which species will thrive in your area?
Most trees can grow in a range of conditions, though some will prefer particular soil types. Take a look around your neighbourhood and see what’s thriving for an idea of what might do well. If you’re planting lots of trees, think carefully about using a mix of native species. Forests and woods are under pressure from pollution, climate change, pests and diseases. Including a broad range of native tree species will make your planting more resilient to these pressures.
