• After a 2 minute Google, Craigmore Trees in Co Armagh should be able to supply (if I remember rightly you're in NI). Bare root are a fraction of the garden centre ripoff prices and generally grown by people who know exactly what they are doing.

  • That's the one I found as well, Armagh is a bit of a drive but I will keep them in mind.

    There is a Belfast garden center that does a potted pear tree for £29, haven't rang Craigmore yet.

    Now to plan&source the hedges... there will not be any Leylandii involved :p

    But it may be hard to get some hedges here, cannot get them from GB anymore (thanks Brexshit) so may end up with a sensible & easy to source hawthorn/alder/buckthorn/hazel/cottoneaster/holly hedge.

  • I would ask Craigmore about bare root hedging while you're at it, again, a huge saving on potted stuff. I have said before on this thread that young plants will always overtake most of the rubbish usually sold in cheap compost from garden centres and nurseries. I buy almost exclusively from growers who don't sell to the public, but they look a decent compromise.

    Please everyone, keep planting Leylandii, you can pay me to grub them out later.
