Why Bare Root Trees Are the Smart Choice

Pippa Greenwood's Top Ten Tips for creating a climate-resilient garden
- Choose the right plant for the right place
Select plants that suit your soil, aspect and local conditions, and can cope with a range of weather extremes, including drought, heavy rain and cold snaps. - Choose proven drought-tolerant plants
Reliable examples include English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Nepeta, Salvia and hardy herbaceous geraniums, which can cope with a wide range of conditions once established. - Plant more trees where you have space
Trees are nature’s air-conditioning, providing shade during heatwaves, improving soil structure and helping manage rainfall. Trees that cope well with climate change include Paulownia tomentosa (Princess Tree), Koelreuteria paniculata (Golden Rain Tree) and Cercis siliquastrum (Judas Tree). - Prepare your soil before planting
Incorporate plenty of organic matter to improve soil structure, increase moisture retention and give plants the best chance to establish and thrive. - Water deeply and at the right time
To help plants make the most of available moisture, water less frequently but more thoroughly and aim water at the roots. Early morning or evening watering is best to reduce evaporation. - Capture and reuse water wherever possible
Invest in a water butt to collect rainwater. You can also fit a diverter to the downpipe from e.g. the bath/shower to collect ‘grey’ water - perfect for watering plants in beds and borders, and that also means you’ll be filling those butts regardless of the weather, making your garden a bit more resilient for future dry spells. You can find these at your local garden centre too! - Mulch for moisture
Applying mulch when temperatures are lower will help to reduce evaporation, regulate soil temperature and improve moisture retention during dry periods. - Give newly planted trees and shrubs extra care
Newly planted specimens need the most attention. Regular watering during their first year helps them develop strong root systems and better withstand future weather extremes. - Use efficient watering methods
Drip and trickle irrigation systems deliver water directly to the roots, reducing waste and improving water efficiency during dry weather. Check with your water supplier if these can be used during any restrictions. - Create a garden that works with water naturally
Features such as permeable paving, rain gardens, planted borders and healthy soils help absorb heavy rainfall, reduce runoff and support wildlife.
