Where can I buy extremely large potted trees?

Shouldn't this be a practice that we actively discourage? After all we've enough imported pathogens already killing our native tree population.

Vast amounts of trees/shrubs/flowers are brought in every day to supply nurseries all over the UK, much of this from Holland, it’s been like this for decades as it is usually much cheaper, what pathogens do you think wouldn’t be present in the UK now if we didn’t import plants/fruit material?

Unfortunately your right majority of trees and hedging are imported

Chalara springs to mind, although admittedly there is some speculation that it just blew across the channel to our fair isle.

 

DED has been imported twice. I know, on elm timber with bark.

 

Xylella fastidiosa, seems to be one of the greatest threats currently and ,iirc, there's a ban on a number of herbaceous plants and shrubs atm 

 

Remembering that we do live on an island, do you think that it is a good idea to import pots and containers of soil, carrying who knows what?

We do import and have imported pots/plants with soil for centuries, I can’t see this changing.

I replanted ‘Bait’ trees (Acers) on the site if an Asian Longhorn infestation at Paddock Wood in Kent a couple of years back.

The whole site had been clear felled, chipped and burned previously, the source was identified as the pallets that had contained Indian Sandstone slabs from the landscaping wholesaler next door, no soil involved, 

How many UK based cutters do you know who practice Biosecurity to prevent movement of infected material from town to town, nil I bet?
