Standards Development
Proposed scope of Amendment
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.
BS 5837 is being reviewed and to avoid duplication or divergence between standards over time, BS 8545 should be amended to ensure that both standards are aligned with all aspects of tree planting addressed in BS 8545. Minor technical amendments to clarify and address changes since 2012 will also be incorporated.
