Sheryn’s’ s 4 ti tips for planting nut trees RESERVE

• trees from your local nursery or go online to order them now – the best varieties are often in limited supply. • DECIDE where you will plant what and get any fencing or stock exclusion organised.

• DIG a large hole and optimise your soil conditions around the immediate root zone.

• BE ready to plant your nut trees when the cool and regular rains of winter start (except for macadamias – plant them in spring).

• CHECK for noxious weeds, prune off unwanted branches and give some fertiliser annually, then wait for your nuts.
