We aim to stock a diverse selection of trees tailored specifically for small gardens within our nursery. Should we ever run out of stock or if your needs extend beyond our usual range, our extensive network of suppliers enables us to source the perfect tree for you.
From petite options ideal for smaller spaces to mature trees for landscaping projects, we’re dedicated to providing trees to suit to all your garden needs.
We stock a diverse range of top fruit trees, including apples, pears, cherries, plums, damsons and gages. If by chance we don’t have the specific variety you’re seeking, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Additionally, if you would like less common varieties such as mulberries, medlars, sloes, or walnuts, we can try to source these for you upon request depending on the season.
Please call in advance to ensure we have what you require in stock.

Some examples of these would be Clematis, Honeysuckle, Ivy and climbing Hydrangeas.
These types of plants will usually need some form of trellis or other structure to support them and they may need tying in to keep them in situ.
Some examples of these would be Pyracantha (Firethorn), Jasmine, Solanum (Potato Vine) and Roses.
