Conifers and woody climbing plants, suitable to be transplanted and grown for ornament or amenity. Root systems, condition, dimensions, labelling, forms and dimensions. Examples of plants appended for information

This Part of BS 3936 specifies requirements for trees and shrubs, including conifers and woody climbing plants, that are suitable for transplanting and growth as ornamental or amenity plants (either individually or massed) but not specifically for timber production (see BS 3936-4). It includes requirements for compost in a container, if used, and for labelling.

It does not apply to roses (see BS 3936-2) or to poplars and willows (see BS 3936-5). Some shrubs are suitable for use as ground cover plants (see BS 3936-10). Selected examples of plants are given in Appendix A with appropriate information.

NOTE 1 These examples, which include poplars and willows, are supplied for information only.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this Part of BS 3936 are listed on the inside back cover.
