How to choose a tree for a private garden

Many customers come to the nursery to choose trees for their own gardens and consult with us about which is best for them. We’ve compiled here some of their frequently asked questions so that you can visit the nursery with a better idea of which trees are right for you

Israeli oaks – a worthwhile investment

Quercus species are the classic ornamental tree. They are synonymous with luxury, robustness, durability and longevity. They are beautiful trees with sculptural trunks and interesting foliage, are resistant to pests and diseases, only get better with age and are very long-lived. It is with good reason that they are considered the kings of the forest and groves.

Tree planting and watering instructions

Good tree establishment begins even before planting. This article divides the process into four stages: preparing the soil for planting, the planting itself, support and watering. Ensuring the correct execution of each of these stages will guarantee optimal base conditions for the young tree

The nursery’s vision

We at Ilan Nursery strive to create new standards and promote them in public landscaping. We would like to see regulatory bodies more involved in guiding and enforcing such standards. We feel that the professional level in Israel is still in the development stages and primarily that there is a very high demand for training and guidance from professionals and an insufficient supply of quality training
