Proposed British Standard - Establishing Trees in the Landscape
Up to 25% of newly planted amenity trees fail to establish and reach a semi-mature state. BSi has proposed a new British Standard BS8545, a code of practice for trees from nursery to landscape. The standard will encompass tree production, dispatch, storage, transplanting and maintenance/aftercare until established in the landscape. The standard will aim to recognise this as a conjoined process rather than the disjointed one that it currently is, to increase the success rate of tree planting and establishment.
The standards drafting group lead by Keith Sacre (Barcham Trees) has prepared a brief questionnaire as its first step in its on going consultation process. The questionnaire is currently live at the following link and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. BS8545 Questionnaire.
