Description
Is your young tree not growing, tall but floppy, measuring thinner, missing its top, or losing its leaves?
This guide is the part you take outside. Start with what you see, do a few five-minute checks, then answer simple yes or no steps that lead you to the most likely cause and tell you what to do. It is easy to follow, even if you have never looked after a tree before.
I made it from my own experience of tracking 192 young trees for months in field experiments: the measurements I took, and the good and bad things I saw happen to them during the growing season. Every step is checked against university extension guidance, listed in the guide.
What you get:
- Four easy steps to use the guide, and a start chart that sends you to the right page
- Five-minute checks for soil, twigs, root flare, stakes, bark and crown
- Five problem pages: not growing, tall but thin, trunk thinner, lost its top, and yellowing or dropping leaves
- What to do this week, this month and next season, with what not to do and when to call an arborist
- What to fix first when there is more than one problem, and what to check if the first fix did not work
- A follow-up calendar, and notes for conifers and grafted fruit trees
- A worked example and fillable case records
13-page fillable PDF, instant download. Pairs with the Tree Establishment Tracker to measure your tree’s recovery.
