I have about 150 trees, all sizes and stages of development. I have been growing for 20 years plus now. My favourite species is Larch, I have a lot. I do like deciduous, and I have a lot, Scots Pines too.

If you go into any garden centre you should find fleece for frost protection. It comes in a roll. As an alternative newspaper over the leaves will help. If you look in Amazon you should find it as well.
