Why
plant Native Trees of Local Provenance?
Native Trees and Shrubs support a wider range of plants and
animals than introduced species, they maintain local character and
conservation value, they thrive in particularly harsh local conditions and
are more likely to survive and flourish than most introduced species.
The genetic makeup of local provenance native trees and
shrubs ensures that they are better adapted to local conditions.
They are better suited to soil conditions and temperature
fluctuations, high rainfall and higher wind speeds.
Native and local provenance plants tend to be slightly
smaller and harder looking when they arrive but this is normal, this is a
result of the genetic makeup of the species.
