Look after the young tree
Just like humans, the first 5 years of a tree’s life can determine the quality of the mature specimen it will become.
Your young tree needs constant access to good food and water to grow strong and healthy. Deep watering will encourage the roots to grow deep, safeguarding the tree through droughts and creating stability and anchorage.
Early pruning means energy is not wasted on limbs that will need to be removed later and potential weak points are minimized.
Care in those developmental years will pay off hugely as the tree matures.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
