NEW SPECIMEN STOCK IN!!

Hello - a busy old time here at the nursery at the moment!! We have just had an extra delivery of SPECIMEN shrubs and conifers onto our sales areas.

The cold winter has meant that many people have lost prized shrubs - and are looking to replace them - but with a sizeable plant to fill the space!!

We have got some nice mature CONIFERS -particularly CUPRESSUS 'GOLDCREST' -in a range of sizes - as well as the lovely blue JUNIPERUS 'SKYROCKET'.

Ther are some new BAMBOOS - and LAURELS in two different sizes offer instant evergreen hedging or screening or space-filling.

We are also very excited about some lovely PITTOSPORUM that we have managed to find. We have the sought-after PURPLE-LEAVED form - this really is an absolute beauty!! It does need a sheltered spot though - so does the other one we have - 'IRENE PATTERSON' - this has creamy-green wavy leaves - just so pretty!! Both of these are evergreen reliable shrubs - that are excellent for flower-arranging and general planting.

There are large specimen EUCALYPTUS TREES - excellent for screening purposes - and we also have other large evergreen shrubs such as the ever-popular PHOTINIA 'RED ROBIN' - and the Portugese Laurel - PRUNUS LUSITANICA.

Back by popular demand are the large specimen CEANOTHUS - these are always snapped up!! Also another of our popular lines are the instant SPECIMEN WALL-FANS of CLEMATIS, CEANOTHUS AND HONEYSUCKLE. These are ideal to pop-in if you want to clothe a wall or fence overnight!!

All of these are now on our sales areas - so while the ground is still in good condition for planting - get forward - and restock your garden!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME,
RICHARD
