In 2016, a total of 12,000 cherry trees (Prunus Cerasus “Kelleriis”) were planted - with the help of the TerraCottem soil conditioning technology - in challenging growing conditions. A perfect score was achieved: none of the 12,000 trees planted died: a survival rate of 100% was observed!
Boost Tree Survival and Cut Watering: A Proven Planting Method
01/01/2020 - 00:00
Whether you’re planting trees in urban spaces, parks, or large-scale landscapes, the early years after planting are critical. Traditionally, the first two years have been seen as the main establishment window – but with hotter summers, longer droughts, and more unpredictable weather, many newly planted trees now need support for three to five years to survive and thrive. But success isn’t just about choosing the right species – it’s about supporting the soil from day one. This article explores how one simple soil improvement step can help trees establish faster, reduce watering needs, and improve long-term survival – with proven results.
"A visitor to a garden sees the successes, usually. The gardener remembers mistakes and losses, some for a long time, and imagines the garden in a year, and in an unimaginable future."
