Semi- mature / mature trees

[Luke Quenby]

Not to sure where the best category to post this was, but I figured this was close enough!

After a couple of years out of the semi-mature / mature tree nursery industry, I'm going to be getting back into it, as a sideline initially. I just wanted to offer my services to any arborists / landscapers etc with regards to moving, buying and installing trees.

I have good links to the best nurseries in the UK and Europe, lots of experience in moving and planting also, as well as aftercare, anchoring systems etc. From Hornbeam whips for hedging, to 13 ton 60 foot Metasequoia's and Tilia and everything inbetween. Be it quality, quantity or both, if anyone has a planting project as part of a job, give me a shout, and I will help you out best I can, be it advice or prices for said trees, craneage, transport, lifting systems etc.

With planting season pretty much on us, rootballed, containerised or bare-root, I'm pretty confident I can source just about any tree varity or size, for a very good price, or just give you a few ideas if it's an awkward site, fussy clients or more, there's not much I havn't come accross in the past when it comes to this sort of thing.

If I can help anyone out, reply, pm or calll me.

Cheers, Luke

It certainly did! They are in Jubilee Park, at Canary Wharf in docklands. There's Metasequoia, Elm, Tilia and Taxodium. Around 200 in all. I was involved with nursery project of bringing them in, from all over Europe, unloading, containerising and pruning, then dispatching upto 3 years later, and installing. If I can dig out a few photo's I'll post them

I'm based in East Sussex at the moment, still manging an estate, but this is something for the future, about 6 - 12 months time. I'm just putting out a few feelers at the moment, will be going in with an old friend / collegue in the Beds / Cambs area in time. I think what's making me get back into it is knowing I can do it really well, one of the better ones in the country, and now I'm in a postion where I can have a bit of control and do something a bit different and for myself. Once things pick up economically, which they are slowly statring to, we'll be well positioned to offer new and interesting ways of doing things, plus the traditional, with minmal overheads and maximum experience. Or thats the plan! I guess I'm using arbtalk a bit as I know through experience that when tree's / hedges come down, they quite often get replaced, so this could be a good place to make a few contacts with more arborists and landscapers

All sounds sensible to me, Luke.

 

By all means dig out some pictures if you've got them and best of luck to you.

[Luke Quenby]

Thanks very much, will have a look around for them, not to hopefull though as they were taken 8 years ago, before I went digital!
