Tony's tree top tips There are so many ways to encourage good tree growth in your garden. Watch these exclusive clips to show you exactly how to make the most of your trees from planting and pruning, to good aftercare and mulching.

Planting

Give your tree the best start by planting it the right way.

Pruning

Pruning needs to be done at the right time and the right place.

Mulching

Mulching – the best way to look after your tree after you’ve planted it.

And here are some of my tree top tips from the programme:

Propagating apples

One of the unusual things about apples is that the seeds in the fruit do not necessarily produce the same apples as the original tree.

Aging trees

There are many ways to measure the age of a tree without cutting it down. In Sherwood Forest we found out if the Major Oak was old enough for Robin Hood to have hidden there.

Fungal attacks

King Alfred’s Buns might sound like a treat from the bakery but it is in fact a fungus that harms the ash tree.
