OAKS FOR THE FUTURE

Recognising the value an old Oak Tree, for shade, longevity, drought tolerance and fire retardant, Mt William Advanced Tree Nursery annually collect from a wide range of species to propagate, helping with biodiversity for the future.

Once the acorns germinate, the daily checking and immediate potting into loose, moist, and nutrient-rich soil occurs, trying to mimic the nature conditions found under a mature tree.
