BC weather is trending towards hotter and dryer and the planting specs are getting tougher and more demanding.
Ive been planting in BC for a while now and ive noticed recently that clients expectations for planting specs are getting pretty high, due to the fact that the weather is making it difficult to regrow trees
Now you have to obstacle everything north side, screef to mineral dirt, and make sure the plug is totally sealed in mineral dirt, if you are anywhere south of PG basically. And there is less and less leniancy, often approaching a strict literal interpretation of the specs where a tree a couple inches too far from an obstacle is called a fault
Not only that, but we gotta plant with two silvis in our bags, not use flag, and deal with loose pack trees
All these factors add up to making planting quite a bit more difficult than it used to be 10 years ago
Just something to be aware of for those placing bids on the work
