NOTICEBOARD
Roses available to pre-order
We'll start lifting this year's fresh crop of bare root roses on Monday 2nd November. All existing orders will be sent out in the first two weeks of November, any orders placed after that date will be sent out within 7 working days of the order being placed (unless we agree an alternative delivery date with you). Roses loved the heat of the summer, the quality of the plants is very high, and now is the perfect time to plant.
NOTICEBOARD
Roses available to pre-order
We're delighted that the next crops of both containerised and bare root roses are now available to pre-order. Containerised roses will be sent out from around the middle of May, once they have rooted in their pots and started to come into strong growth. They should be in flower for you around the end of June. Bare root roses can be reserved now, for delivery in November 2026 as soon as the next season begins.
NOTICEBOARD
Top Fruit trees available to pre-order
The top fruit, soft fruit and nut tree sections on the website are now updated, allowing orders for bare root fruit trees for delivery between November 2026 and March 2027. The range we offer is second to none, both in terms of varieties, choice of rootstocks and trained fruit trees. All are grown here in Pickering on our 200 acre nursery, by full-time skilled nursery workers, using traditional techniques. As ever, if you have any questions, we're always on hand to help guide you through the process, to make sure you get the right trees for your needs.
NOTICEBOARD
Soft Fruit plants available to pre-order
The Soft Fruit section on the website is now updated, allowing orders for bare root and potted soft fruit plants for delivery in Autumn/Winter 2026. The next crop of potted plants will be ready to send out as from September 2026. Bare root plants will be available as normal from November onwards. Prices will have to increase slightly next season, but order by Friday 27th June 2026 to beat the price increase and benefit from last year's prices. The Nut Tree section will be updated shortly. As ever, if you have any questions, we're always on hand to help guide you through the process, to make sure you get the right plant for your needs.
