Planting trees on private land
There’s no law regarding what a property owner can plant on their property.
We advise that you plant the largest growing and longest-lived indigenous species of tree possible for the given growing conditions and site constraints.
When assessing a potential tree planting site, you should look for:
- site conditions such as soils, climate, aspect, drainage, services, structures, scenic views, solar access, physical access
- desired horticultural characteristics of the new tree such as evergreen or deciduous, height, width, crown shape, vigour, provenance, flowers, fruit
- desired function of the new tree such as shade, screening, habitat, shelter, windbreak, framing of views.
