Large Norwegian blue spruce needed for planting near Selby.

[Daythe trees]

As above I have an insurance job to conduct on a tree damaged by a car impact, it needs to be removed and replaced. Getting it down cleared up and ground out I've got nailed but finding a replacement taller than 40cm not so much!

 

Anybody know of any specialist nurseries which could deliver a tree of this species to the Selby area. The tree coming down is seven metres (ish) in height and I need to replace as close as possible to this. According to the customer price is not an issue however I suspect I need to be realistic in this regard.

 

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Tried Barchams?

Nope, but I will now. Cheers Felix. Anyone else got some wisdom? I found loads of mature sorbus, acer and betula varieties for sale. When it comes to any pine people want to sell a thousand plus as a Christmas tree plantation! Leylandi though you can get them in big sizes for pennies in bulk!

A Norwegian blue eh? Isn't that a deceased parrot?

Do you mean Picea pungens?

[Goaty]

Firms to try, even if they don't have they may source one.

 

Barchams as mentioned.

Majestic trees

Wyevale nurseries (not garden centres)

Wykeham mature plants

Johnson of Whitley

Green mile

Also shortly in dormant season tree transplanting companies such as ruskins maybe able to get a rootballed specimen which will be nearer the height.

Thanks all and yes I do mean picea pungens. Can't imagine a parrot would take kindly to being planted and watered even a deceased one, especially with our climate.

I was going to suggest Majestic trees too. Particularly as you suggested money was no object! You could also try Deepdale.
