CONTAINER GROWN

We have recently expanded our container area to accommodate approximately 500 container grown trees.  This allows for year-round sales and greater flexibility for our customers as planting is no longer restricted to the lifting season from November to March.  Trees are dug up from our fields during the winter months and containerised using peat-free compost. These are ideal and perfect feature trees for gardens.

There are other benefits to containerising trees, as some of the more tricky plants such as the Malus varieties can benefit from being in containers to reduce what is known as ‘transplant shock’. This is the tree’s reaction to being dug up and re-planted, partly because of the change in their environment, partly in response to losing some of their roots during the rootballing process which can lead to them looking rather bare during the first summer after being planted out.  By containerising the tree one season prior to planting, this ‘shock’ reaction will be avoided and will ensure the tree looks perfect when planted in its new home.

Our trees are perfect trees for gardens big or small .Transform any size space with our selection of garden trees. Whether you’re seeking majestic shade trees to cool your summer afternoons or ornamental specimens to add a touch of elegance,

Crafted from recycled plastic, these innovative containers revolutionize plant growth in our container  area by fostering healthy root development. Their unique design incorporates conical-shaped holes that effectively separate roots, preventing them from clustering together. We have a variety of container grown trees  that use these air-pots making the trees health our number one priority. They are a friend to the environment as they can be re-used so many times proving their strength and resilience.
