Trees and Shrubs

Trees and shrubs offer more than just ornamental beauty, they also offer privacy, and depending on what type you get, they can also offer fruit and beautiful fragrant flowers. Many homeowners in suburban areas plant trees & shrubs as a way to separate themselves from their neighbours.

When you look for trees and shrubs for sale, you will have to take into consideration your climate, or zone. There are certain trees and shrubs that do better in warmer climates and some that can withstand some cooler weather.

For example, if you live in northern areas of the U.K. such as Scotland and the Highlands, then you can choose Oak, Ash, or Maple trees. If you want fruit varieties, choose from apple, pear, peach or cherry. If you live in the south like London and the home counties, then you can choose trees and shrubs such as orange, lemon or lime trees.

Once you know your hardiness zone, you’ll have to consider what type of gardener you are. Do you want to plant trees & shrubs that are maintenance free? Or do you find raking, weeding and pruning a relaxing activity? When you’re searching for trees and shrubs for sale, be sure to find out what kind of care they need.

Shrubs can bear fruit as well, such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. Each year they will spread and you will get more fruit. Imagine being able to pick your own produce from your trees and shrubs in your backyard. If you live in a climate that experiences cold winters, you will want to wrap your trees & shrubs in burlap in order to protect them from the elements.

You can visit your local nursery to look at trees and shrubs for sale; they will have a selection of products that are compatible with your zone. For more information on Trees and Shrubs, please browse through our website or call us on 0203 051 1214.

Garden Shrubs and Plants for sale

Garden Shrubs and Plants for sale

The selections of garden plants that are available are as diverse and unique as the gardener. There is no limit to the amount of color, size, style and design that comes with garden shrubs and plants. Whether you want small, low stem flowers like forget-me-nots, or high stem varieties like sunflowers, you’ll find shrubs and plants that suit your tastes.

Garden shrubs can be purchased strictly for decorative looks, or to produce fresh fruit. Raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries grow very well in almost any climate and offer green foliage, as well as fresh, juicy fruit.

When you are designing your garden, think about where you’re going to place your shrubs and plants. Keep in mind that some spread and can take over your entire garden within a few years! A few examples are hostas, lilies and daffodils. At some point you may have to split the plant and find a new place for it.

Garden shrubs and plants require varying degrees of maintenance, so you’ll need to keep this in mind as well when you’re choosing your garden plants. Decide whether you want something that can go for a few days without water, or are you going to have to go out with your garden hose twice a day.

Many people find gardening relaxing and calming. Garden shrubs and plants offer a great way to relax on a Saturday afternoon. Weeding, pruning and picking fruit is a great stress reliever to some.

Whatever type of shrubs and plants you choose, make sure they fit with your zone. Each area has a hardiness zone, in which certain garden plants will do better than others. For example, you wouldn’t plant a cactus in Yorkshire. Garden shrubs can add value to your home and give you your own peaceful oases in which to live.

Product Description
Variation of Photinia x Serrulata ‘Red Robin’- a group of evergreen shrubs grown specifically for glossy, dark green adult foliage, white flowers and brilliant red tinted young leaves; in the spring, they unfold to give a stunning display. The best known of the photinias is Photinia Red Robin, which is often planted as a specimen shrub or as a dense, evergreen hedge.

A Christmas Berry Red Robin puts on a show all year round, with white springtime flowers and new leaves that start out as a vibrant red, before darkening to a glossy green as they age. These bright colours are popular with wildlife, but due to its loose branch structure, birds are unlikely to choose the Red Robin as a nesting location (which is ironic). Christmas Berry Red Robins are an excellent choice for creating interesting hedges and borders.

Biofertiliser for Tree & Shrub 1kg

It is a refined plant feed tailored to the needs of all trees and shrubs. Soil grown plants will benefit by being treated during establishment in the first year whilst their root systems and fungal partners develop.

Apply it on all pot grown and garden plants to encourage healthy blooms and lush foliage all year round. Apply in spring at the first signs of growth, throughout summer as required and as an autumn top dress.

How to Use

Plants in the ground: Apply 1-2 handfuls (25 – 50g) around the base of the plant, lightly worked into the soil and water well. For larger established plants apply 2 handfuls per square meter under the canopy of the plant.

Container plants and topiary: Apply 2 – 3 handfuls per plant twice yearly. We recommend that once per year 5 – 10cm (2-4inches) of soil are removed from the top of the pot and replaced with fresh compost. Add 1 – 2 handfuls when replacing the compost to keep your evergreens in prime condition.

Biofertiliser for Tree & Shrub is not a substitute for using Root Grow at time of planting. For new plantings, or in poor soil conditions, we recommend using pure Root Grow mycorrhizal fungi applied close to the plant’s roots.
