BS 8545:2014

This British Standard gives recommendations for transplanting young trees successfully from the nursery, through to achieving their eventual independence in the landscape, specifically covering the issues of planning, design, production, planting and management.

This British Standard applies to trees where a distinct crown has been prepared in the nursery. It does not apply to whips, transplants and seedlings, or to other woody material.

NOTE Although this standard does not give specific recommendations for other woody material, many of its provisions can be applied to such material, e.g. to shrubs.
