Specimen Trees & Shrubs

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
  • Standard trees
  • Containerised shrubs
  • Instant hedging

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
  • Root-balled 
  • Containerised

Bare-rooted trees will have the roots protected by bags to retain moisture when supplied.

When planting root-balled stock leave the hessian material and wire containing the root-ball intact. This will naturally breakdown over a period of time.

Containerised shrubs can be sourced as 2, 3, 5 or 10 Litre. 

Feathered trees have an upright central leading shoot and a stem furnished with evenly spread and balanced lateral growths down to near ground level, according to species. 

Standard trees have a substantially upright stem, clear of lateral growths, supporting a branched crown.
