High impact planting for landscape and amenity
In order to fulfil all the requirements of your order we are able to source the following on your behalf:
Feathered trees
Feathered trees have an upright central leading shoot furnished with evenly spread lateral growths down to near ground level.
Standard trees
Standard trees have a substantially upright stem, clear of lateral growths, supporting a branched crown.
Containerised shrubs
Container-grown shrubs and some species of dwarf growing trees are ideally suited to small gardens, courtyard gardens or patios.
Instant hedging
Instant pre-grown hedges and boundary solutions are ideal for garden fencing, outdoor and garden privacy screens and privacy hedges.
Whilst we are not directly involved in the growing of this stock, we have established excellent trading relationships with other specialist growers around the country.
Stock is available in the following forms
- Bare-rooted trees will have the roots protected by bags to retain moisture when supplied.
- Root-balled in hessian - when planting root-balled stock leave the hessian material and wire containing the root-ball intact as this will naturally breakdown over a period of time.
- Containerised shrubs can be sourced as 2, 3, 5 or 10 Litre.
