Attention points: Diseases and invasiveness

Choosing tree species can come with certain risks, such as susceptibility to diseases or potential for invasiveness. Below, you'll find a summary of the risks related to the species you selected.

Scientific name & EN name Susceptibility to diseases Potential for invasiveness
[[ tree.scientific_name ]] ([[ tree.en_name ]]) [[ tree.disease_risk ]] [[ tree.non_invasiveness ]]

Attention points: Climate

With a changing climate, it is important to consider how tree species cope with extreme weather during the tree species selection process. The overview below shows how your selected species perform under common climate extremes.

Flemish agroforestry subsidy

If you are an active farmer in Flanders, you may be eligible for subsidies for planting and maintaining agroforestry systems. These are available through the Agency for Agriculture and Sea Fisheries (Agentschap Landbouw en Zeevisserij). To apply for the Planting Subsidy (BLS) or the Maintenance Subsidy (BLO), make sure the species you have selected are on the approved list from the Agency, and that you meet the other criteria as well.

Scientific name & EN name Flemish agroforestry subsidy
[[ tree.scientific_name ]] ([[ tree.en_name ]]) Yes No
