The Nursery grows a wide range of container and field grown trees and shrubs ranging from cell grown liners to 45L specimen sized plants. Most plants are grown from seed , of which most comes from the country of origin, whilst those species covered by FRM regulations come from UK sourced stands.

Here Metasequioa glyptostroboides ( Dawn Redwood ) are being grown in 45L airpots.




Container plants are available at all times of the year, whilst field grown stock is only available during the dormant season.

Field grown plants are under cut on a regular basis to ensure plants have a fibrous root system, whilst larger sized specimens are provided with a rootball to help ensure successful transplanting .

Growing in  a heavy clay based soil ( slightly acidic ), with high rainfall and a predominate westerly wind , we aim to provide our customers  with plants selected ( from seed ) ,which are  tolerant  of prevailing conditions in the North West .

We do not grow plants under protection.

Inevitably, the nursery has had to purchase both British and Dutch nursery stock to increase the diversity of stock, however all such plants are grown on to ensure hardiness.

The Nursery is also registered with all relevant authorities ( DEFRA, Forestry Commision, Environment Agency etc. )
