    like goaty said, the fact that they are in a bag can only slow down root establishment, making them more unstable. (they have no stakes or support either) a neighbour says its the same material as a ton of sand would come in... i cant let this slide tbh as its on my door step, im going to be walking past them almost daily, give us a break lad im only giving them some tlc , im only going off what ive been taught at col, they havnt done anything right by the looks of thing, beariing in mind its all textbook teaching, maybe they will be fine and im over reacting but 'standards are stanards' all this seems to be a massive waste on the councils behalf as its only goin to cause a string of problems i can imagine, not to mension the beating they are going to recieve of the lads with strimmers, every other tree on the street takes a few blows near the base from strimmers each year, some of which has caused cracking from the base upwards. cheers for the response guys, much appreiciated.

    this is my first post guys so please be nice im at myersough doin my ND, and ive just come back home this weekend to find 5 new rowan trees on my street. i thought this was great! however, at a closer inspection ive soon realised every single one has been panted waaayyyyy too deep and all the soil from the original hole has been piled up the stem (overall there is about 15'-20' inch from the rootball to the surface where the soil has gone up the stem) so, ive raked away all the excess, and tbh its abit of mess. all the neighbours have been out noseying whilst ive been raking away and now ive been told they wasn't even removed from the bags the came in:blink: im thinking of sending an email onto the council to see what they can do, or/ also a simple PDF on tree planting, just to educate them a little. any tips or pointers on what to do? cheers SAM DREAD
