Queens commonwealth tree saplings...
Hi guys,
I received my tree saplings yesterday through the post and I won't be planting the trees in the ground for around a year or two. So I plan to pot them up until then but I wondered would I put them straight into a large pot or should I pot them on gradually like you would a normal plant?
Thanks

I don’t usually think of Rowens as large trees.

Nice mix of trees. Will you be coppicing the hazel in the traditional way! Lots of useful poles/rods and a constantly rejuvenated tree. You could even take up making hazel walking sticks

They also grow according to what conditions are like, so they can be kept quite small. Your own climate and conditions locally will also have an effect on how quickly the trees grow, and how big they all get. Birches and rowans go very well together, and have nice light canopies too.
What size is the plot you're putting them all into?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have just potted one of the silver birches but it is leaning quite a lot. Do I need to try and straighten this out or will it correct itself?
