Large container grown conifer supplier required

[monkeybusiness]

Hi - I'm struggling to source a couple of largish (3.5m plus) container grown conifers to replace a pair of dead lawsons cypress we are pulling out next week. Ideally the replacements would also be lawsons as they are part of a group but the client is also open to something golden coloured if straightforward lawsons are unavailable. They need to be bushy though!

Any ideas of suppliers boys and girls?

My thoughts are

 

Expensive size and haulage

 

They may rock around and not establish that well

 

Get smaller ones that will catch them up and overtake them.

 

Sorry don't know of large suppliers, but ensure not imported from warmer climes as they can struggle when winter hits them.

my suggestion is plant something nice :-)

Alternatives aren't going to work very well in this situation, to change from current would require a major landscape redesign unfortunately. I need decent sized trees for instant impact, hence the query as I am struggling to source any. I know they will be expensive...

You could stake the root ball, peg it down with wires across it.

Goaty is right about movement.

We got caught out when we planted 115 2.5m Leylandii in 15litre pots recently and had to go back to stake half.

Hilliers...?

You may find they will be in stock come November as few people would plant even container grown stock in the Summer, even with irrigation set up as we did.

Getting them back end is no problem, neither is planting/staking. I just need them now!
