Cell grown:

Plants, trees and shrubs that have been cell grown can be planted anytime time of the year. Growing plants in cells encourages healthy root growth and because they are often grown in cell trays close together, the plants do not always have chance to bush out. However once transplanted the plant/ tree / shrub will bush out as it grows.

Winter orders:

We are based in the Highlands where it frequently freezes / snows between November - April. In icy periods orders may take a little longer to process as extra care is required to avoid risking any root damage. You can be sure the stock we grow and sell is hardy and strong to survive the long winters here.
