How linden is planted in autumn

The younger the tree, the more successful the rooting process will be.
Linden, transplanted in autumn, will take root more successfully in a new place.

- Prepare the landing pit in advance. Its dimensions should be approximately 50 × 50 × 50 cm.
- Place a 12-15 cm thick drainage layer at the bottom of the pit. Crushed stone or pebbles can be used as drainage.
