ACORN TREES AND SHRUBS
Acorn Trees and Shrubs was born Nov 2005, and has now evolved to the single most diverse retail conifer collection in the UK. The scope of rare species and cultivars is now in excess of 2000no. Many of the items available are of exclusive supply in Britain and across Europe. Many of his clients are European collectors/institutions.
Much stock is propagated in house. There are seedlings to 45yr old specimens for sale that have been curated from other sources.
Alongside the nursery business, two arboreta have evolved at this site- one is a 2acre lawn arboretum of mixed younger and more mature specimens- predominantly for mother stock propagation. The second is a newer 19acre field arboretum started in 2019 with specimens up to 6metres tall. This new arboretum is intended to be a gift to the public, and will most likely end up under the ownership of the local Parish Council / Woodland Trust, at the appropriate time.
The scale of stocks has increased dramatically in recent years. So much so at the beginning of 2020 a new 2acre field nursery was developed with full auto-irrigation. Some 25,000+ trees are being moved there now
