Growing Hollingdean volunteers the first Sunday, March 2024
Three apple trees received tree guardian love, care and attention on Sunday 3rd March 2024. We welcomed a few new volunteers this session and a total of nine people took part. We cleared the grass and weeds, staked, mulched and put new protective cages round the trees at the top of Brentwood Road. Pruning with our amazing ladder, which can be used on uneven group took place on the oldest of the three trees, trimming back some branches to give it room to breathe. This is best done as a group effort, so people can see the branches from all angles and identify which ones to remove.
To find your nearest fruit or nut tree near you, see our Tree Guardian Volunteers page for the Hollingdean Tree Map. Look closely at the tree’s with leaf buds and blossom. How to identify spring blossom here.
