DECEMBER 2019
With drier weather conditions forecast for early December, soil conditions are looking good for hedge and tree planting pre-Christmas here in East Anglia and beginning to dry out on the western side of the country.
Our last delivery date before Christmas will be Friday 20th December and deliveries will start again from Friday 3rd January. We are closed between Christmas and New Year.
OCTOBER 2019
We will be starting to despatch pre-booked orders of bare root hedging and trees from early November. Our aim is to clear the backlog of pre-orders by the middle of November.
Conditions currently look favourable for lifting and planting, but hoping we don’t get too much more rain in the next few weeks.
SEPTEMBER 2019
With the onset of Autumn, now is the time to plan for hedge and tree planting. Most bare root hedging and trees will be available to despatch from early November. PRE ORDER NOW!
July/August 2019
All bare root hedging plants and trees are now available to pre-order for delivery in November, with discounts of up to 20% on all orders placed before 1st September.
MID APRIL 2019
The season for bare root hedging and trees has now finished – these plants will be available again to pre-order from late Summer, for November delivery. New batches of pot grown Lavender are now available.
EARLY APRIL 2019
Most bare root hedging plants, mixed hedges and trees are still available for despatch during the first week of April. It is unlikely that Hawthorn and thorn based mixes will be available after 6th April. Beech, Yew, Privet and Hornbeam etc and some of our mixes and trees should still be in stock for week commencing 8th April but we would advise booking orders in before 8th April. New Lavender Hedging stock will be ready from early April.
March 2019
Mild weather in late February has brought many plants forward earlier than expected, and buds are swelling fast. We anticipate that the season for many bare rooted plants will come to an end around late March. Most species are still available, but stocks on some are now running low. Lead times on orders for despatch are currently around 10-14 days, so please order well in advance if you have a specific date for planting.
February 2019
A cold early February is ideal for dormant plants! Holding back leaf emergence as the days get longer and controlling pests. Despite the cold weather, there is a sniff of Spring in the air now. Bare root hedging and trees will still be available until early April, but with higher than usual demand for quality hedging this season, some stocks are beginning to get low. Early ordering is highly recommended particularly if your requirements are for large quantities.
JANUARY 2019
With colder weather predicted for later this month and plants in full dormancy, January is the ideal time to plant bare root hedging and trees, providing daytime temperatures are above freezing. We will continue to have bare root plants available until early-mid April, so there is still plenty of time to get planting!
