A final update for the year…

A close look at two of our favourite trees this Winter…

We are so busy re-potting stock at the moment for the coming season. I undertake the potting outside. This time of the year it can be so cold for the first fifteen minutes, then normally you are as warm as toast!

When we were potting on Sunday, a flock of Gold Finches spent the day flying back and forth between a Poplar tree and an Ash tree. In the afternoon, we were treated to a small flock of Long Tailed Tits searching for food through the trees.

We have just finished potting the Pittosporum variegatum into 43 litre pots. They are so big – approximately 5’ tall by 4’ across – the largest I have stocked. It started to rain again before we finished – so wet again! We have now started re-potting our Japanese maples – a job I love doing as we have so many varieties.

I have also found a new nursery doing fruit trees in this country. They are some of the best grown I have seen for years. Have potted all of them and pruned a good percentage of them. We can offer a better size than normal of the popular varieties. A lot more impressive. I will look forward to our next growing season to see the results of the work we are undertaking now.
