If you’ve just added a new tree to your garden, or you’re thinking about planting one, it’s worth knowing about the biggest risk to newly planted trees in January: rabbits.
Winter is the perfect time to plant a new tree – strike while the iron’s hot (or, in this case, very cold), and they’ll get settled in nicely during the dormancy period. While some garden plant pests are inactive, though, rabbits are hungry – and freshly planted trees are sitting ducks. Not unless you know how to protect them, anyway.
