Multi tier species design
A planting plan combining fast income species with slow native canopy and an understory crop layer.
By choosing species that mature on different timescales and arranging them so the fast ones fund the slow ones. Fast growing rows are harvested on a short cycle and pay for protection and maintenance, while slow native species build the canopy that matters in year twenty.
What this includes
- Species selection matched to soil and rainfall
- Tier design with spacing and row arrangement
- Harvest cycle planning for the fast layer
- Understory crop selection with existing market demand
- Native canopy species for long term carbon and habitat
- Nursery specification and sourcing plan
- What you receiveOutput
- Planting plan with species, spacing, tiers and harvest cycles
- When you need itTiming
- After site assessment, before nursery procurement.
Planting only fast species, which gives a crop rather than a restoration, or only slow species, which gives fifteen years with no income.
