Roundtuit Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Looking for anything specific? I've had some good hedging and small trees bought on-line at good prices from Beechwood Nurseries (3fatpigs.co.uk), and had a couple of hundred lavender plants from various places. Bigger trees from treescapenursery.co.uk, but delivery will probably kill it for you. Good to buy local if you can; it's surprising what you can get at wholesale prices if there are growers in your neck of the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We used Hedges Direct at our last house and this one. Good quality and choice. https://www.hedgesdirect.co.uk/ Burncoose Nurseries in Cornwall also a good supplier. https://www.burncoose.co.uk/site/index.cfm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few years (10), but I purchased about 200 ish laurels from beechwood, via ebay at the time, all bare rooted. No problems whatsoever. I just heeled them into the vege patch in bundles when they arrived, and transplanted them when time allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make for a proper day out. @joe90 have you thought of just finding things that are growing locally and taking cuttings, seeds and berries. I am always amazed what springs up in my garden.

I have heard of Macsalvors, must take a look. Regarding cuttings etc time is against me, i have taken some but I don’t want to wait years before having anything of any size as the plot is quite big , I don’t mind spending a bit to get some more “immediate” decent sized shrubs.

Just looked at these but they like free draining soils, not heavy clay like I have, just dug the ground over and added “muck”, found you can get garden compost fairly locally FREE, it’s council green waste that’s been composted, free to collectors ?, roll on summer eh!

One is even growing in the planter I temporarily (8 years ago) put some bamboo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
