Between the nursery and your garden, a plant spends a day or two in a box. How it’s packed decides how it arrives. Kind words from a customer this week
Meet Bruno, our new office dog. He’s 8 weeks old and already has four jobs: bare-root inspector, packing quality control, tree inspector and head of morale. Pay: biscuits. 🐶 #officedog #puppy
Tins will see you through three days. A fruit tree will feed you for thirty years. Bare-root season has just begun, so if you’ve been meaning to plant fruit, this is the winter to start. ashridgetrees.co.uk/blogs/fr…
Kate from our customer services team made these for Halloween: dahlias, roses, crab apples, chillies, marigolds and salvias, in a pumpkin and a teapot. Plant roses and crab apples bare-root from November and you’ll be cutting your own next October.
Green beech hedging from 89p a plant, UK-grown and bareroot. Clip it in August and it keeps its leaves all winter. First despatches in the next week or two, so get your order in now. ashridgetrees.co.uk/collecti…
This season’s bareroot hedging is in the cold store, dormant and ready to go. Hawthorn, beech, hornbeam, blackthorn and native mixes are all here.

Hedging and plants for animals and children: what’s safe, what’s poisonous, what to plant ashridgetrees.co.uk/blogs/he…
Leaves down? Then it’s apple-pruning time, from now until early March. Start with dead, diseased and crossing wood, then open up the centre. Take no more than a fifth of the canopy each winter, or you’ll get a thicket of watershoots. Plums and cherries wait for summer.
Dahlias are flowering their socks off and will keep going until the first frost. Spotted a favourite? Dahlia tubers are now open for pre-order, ready for spring planting. ashridgetrees.co.uk/collecti…
Phone calls answered, updates sent, plants delivered when promised. Not glamorous, but it’s what you want from a nursery, and it’s good to hear it’s working. Thank you for the kind words.

Female winter moths can’t fly, so they walk up your fruit trees to lay eggs. A ring of tree grease up the trunk stops them. Grease the stake too, and get it on before November.
Rootballed yew is despatching now. It arrives with its own soil around the roots, so it gives you a hedge on day one. The soil’s still warm, so order now and plant this weekend. ashridgetrees.co.uk/products…
