Acer
Question:
I want to replace my Acer in the garden. Is it ok to plant a new one in the same place as the one I am now digging out?
Answer:
As long as the Acer you are replacing is healthy then I can see no reason why planting another would cause problems. Ensure you remove all the roots of the old tree and dig a hole twice the size of the root ball of the new tree. Add lots of well rotted compost to the soil when back-filling. Water if it doesn't rain but ensure it doesn't get waterlogged.
