These days due to advancements in growing techniques most of our trees are available container grown which has a number of advantages:-
- They are available all year round.
- They are much easier to transplant than traditional field grown stock.
- Most importantly they are much easier to handle than traditional root balled trees.
The really big root balled trees are very heavy (about one tonne each), and have to be mechanically handled at all times so we recommend using our planting service.
