Information

This tree list has been written specifically for the winter of 2011/12 and largely contains what we grow in East Yorkshire. There are a few other unusual things we have in very limited numbers, so if the tree you would like is not listed, please ask.  If we do not have it, we may be able to source it from one of the other nurseries, who regularly supply us. Click here for our contact details.

   Prices listed are for bare-rooted trees approximately 6-7 ft or 180-210cm (depending on the species), which are available from mid-November to late March.   For bare-rooted trees, please give the Nursery at least 48 hours notice to allow us time to lift the trees from our fields, which cover about 30 acres.   Trees are lifted only on weekdays.   Prices shown in BOLD are for potted trees and are generally available for most of the year. 

   Many of the trees listed are also available in larger bare-rooted sizes but not in large quantities so please ask about their availability.

   In the field we also have specimen trees, which can be root-balled on request during the winter months. If you are interested in these bigger sizes, you will need to make an appointment, with Andrew, to view them in the field.  Larger trees of some species are available in pots. Prices very much depend on the variety and the size of the tree.
