Hello - Phew - what a week!! The middle part of November is always viewed with mixed feelings by the nursery staff - why - because it is the busiest time of our year - with deliveries daily, as all the new season bare-root plants come on stream.
This week has definitely been manic - there have been two more of our popular pruning courses which were hugely successful - there have been five lorries delivering new stock - over 350 bare-root fruit trees and over 10,000 hedging plants have been heeled into the ground. Our mail-order service has been in full swing with parcels going out all over the country - plus all our regular visitors to the nursery as well!!
There are actually only three members of nursery staff so to say we are a bit stretched at the moment is a bit of an understatement!!
Nevertheless - we work as a team - and we now have available - BARE-ROOT HALF-STANDARD TREES OF PLUM 'VICTORIA', 'CZAR' AND 'MARJORIE'S SEEDLING', ALSO 'OLD ENGLISH GREENGAGE' AND DAMSON 'MERRYWEATHER, PLUS PEARS 'CONFERENCE','CONCORDE','DOYENNE DU COMICE' AND 'WILLIAMS BON CHRETIEN'. WE ALSO HAVE SMASHING QUALITY HALF-STANDARDS OF CHERRY 'STELLA', 'SUNBURST' AND 'LAPINS'.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE IN A FEW WEEKS TIME - PLUM 'VICTORIA' FAN, GREENGAGE FAN, CHERRY 'STELLA','SUNBURST' AND LAPINS' FANS - AND A RANGE OF APPLE ESPALIERS!!
So as you can see we are rather busy at the moment!!
Many of you are asking when the bare-root hedging will be available - we have the first deliveries in - but it will not be available for sale until late next week - we need to get everything together first - with another 15,000 hedging plants due in early next week - please be patient and bear with us - we are going as fast as we can!!!
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
RICHARD
