Planting and care

In our heavy soil, we dig a hole of 30cm (12in) in all directions, pour pure sand into it and install the stump without adding any soil. All the proposed species and varieties have deciduous foliage and are endowed with excellent hardiness (-18° (1°F) approximately), allowing them to harden in many regions. During very harsh winters, cover the stumps with straw or dead leaves.
