Autumn is an ideal time to plant fruit trees, a gesture that guarantees better plant recovery and a more resilient garden the following spring.
At Plantations Weisen, we support our customers in setting up harmonious orchards and living hedges that support biodiversity, whether for a private garden or a city park.
Why plant in autumn?
Optimum rooting
Autumn offers mild temperatures, still-warm soil and regular humidity. These conditions allow fruit trees to develop their roots before winter.
More sustainable planting
Planting in autumn limits water stress, reduces watering and encourages regular growth the following spring.
Some key benefits:
-
better resistance to disease
-
faster recovery
-
water saving
-
natural integration into the site's ecosystem
Better-adapted varieties
Apple, pear, plum or berry trees... Autumn makes planting easier for most species. Local or hardy varieties are particularly recommended, as they require little maintenance.
The natural hedge: a precious ally
An aesthetic and ecological barrier
Opting for a natural hedge rather than an artificial one, or one that is too monotonous, creates a refuge for wildlife.
Its advantages :
-
wind protection
-
maintaining biodiversity
-
soil improvement
-
noise reduction
Which species to choose?
A diversified hedge is highly recommended. The Plantations Weisen teams recommend a combination of :
-
hazel

These plants provide food, habitat for insects and small animals, and ecological continuity.
