No minimum order applies. We work with projects of all sizes — from small woodland creation schemes requiring a few thousand trees through to large-scale commercial forestry programmes needing millions of units. Smaller orders are handled with the same care and attention as large ones, though lead times and pricing will vary depending on species, specification, and scale. If you’re unsure whether your project is the right fit, get in touch and we’ll be straightforward with you.

No. Our nursery network is built to handle projects at significant scale. By coordinating across multiple specialist UK nurseries, we can aggregate supply to meet large volume requirements that a single grower couldn’t fulfil alone. We have experience coordinating supply for major woodland creation programmes, estate-scale planting, and government-funded schemes. Early engagement is essential for high-volume orders — the earlier you speak to us, the better positioned we are to secure the right stock at the right time.

Yes. We coordinate delivery to sites throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Delivery is arranged directly from nursery to site, or via consolidation depending on your project logistics. We work with you to schedule delivery windows that align with your planting programme and site access requirements. For remote or difficult-access sites, we’ll discuss logistics in advance to make sure delivery goes smoothly.

Yes — contract growing is one of the most important services we offer. For projects requiring large volumes, specific provenances, or uncommon species, we can arrange bespoke growing programmes with our nursery partners well in advance of your planting date. Forestry planting stock typically requires one to three years of growing time depending on species and specification, so early planning is essential. Contract growing gives you security of supply and the ability to specify exactly what you need — size, root type, provenance, and timing.

We supply stock of known provenance to meet the requirements of woodland creation schemes, grant conditions, and ecological specifications. Native species are available in local provenance seed zones aligned with the UK Forestry Standard and Forest Research guidance. Where specific seed origins are required — for example to meet Natural England or Forestry Commission grant conditions — we work with our nursery partners to source appropriately. Provenance documentation can be provided on request. If you have specific provenance requirements, let us know early so we can plan accordingly.

Biosecurity is taken seriously across our entire supply chain. All stock is sourced from nurseries operating under Plant Healthy certification or equivalent biosecurity protocols, in line with the UK Plant Health Service requirements. We do not import stock from high-risk sources, and where any imported material is considered, it is subject to full phytosanitary documentation and compliance with current import restrictions. We stay up to date with Forestry Commission and APHA guidance on pest and disease risks — including Phytophthora, Oak Processionary Moth, and Ash Dieback — and factor these into sourcing decisions. Your project’s biosecurity requirements can be discussed as part of the initial consultation.

Lead times depend on the species, specification, and volume required. As a general guide: bare root stock is typically available for the winter planting season (November to March) and should be ordered by late spring or early summer at the latest. Cell-grown and container stock can offer more flexibility but still benefits from advance planning. Contract-grown stock requires the longest lead time — often one to three growing seasons depending on species. For large or complex orders, we recommend engaging with us at least 12–18 months before your intended planting date. The earlier you come to us, the more options we have available.

We supply a wide range of native broadleaves and conifers for UK forestry and woodland creation. Commonly requested species include Oak, Birch, Scots Pine, Douglas Fir, Norway Spruce, and Sitka Spruce, among others. We also source less common native species for specialist habitat creation and restoration projects. If you have a specific species list, send it over and we’ll confirm availability, provenance options, and indicative pricing.

Our strong preference is for UK-grown stock, and the majority of what we supply is produced by British nurseries. Where UK-grown supply is insufficient to meet demand — for example during periods of high industry-wide demand or for species with limited domestic production — carefully selected imported stock may be considered. Any imported material must comply fully with UK plant health import requirements, carry the necessary phytosanitary certification, and meet our biosecurity standards. We will always be transparent about the origin of stock we are proposing to supply.

Collection directly from nursery can be arranged in some circumstances, particularly for smaller orders or where you have your own transport. This is agreed on a case-by-case basis depending on the nursery’s location and operational requirements. For larger orders, direct nursery-to-site delivery is usually the most practical and cost-effective option. If collection is something you’d prefer, mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explore what’s possible.
