Ferti Iiser<br />
A small application of a good general mixed fertiliser (between 50 g to 100 g per tree<br />
depending on soil type and species) can help get the tree started.<br />
The fertiliser needs to be buried about 10 cm deep and at least 20 cm away from the<br />
tree. On flat ground, bury it in two small holes either side of the tree. On sloping<br />
ground bury it in a band uphill of the tree (See Figure 9).<br />

Protection<br />
Individual tree guards can help protect the seedlings from grazing animals and<br />
wind. General protection for the site may involve maintaining a fire break and<br />
fencing (See Figure 10).<br />
