Plants are offered subject to availability. Sometimes we have only a small quantity of a plant. Catalogue prices are mainly for young plants. Sometimes we have larger plants. Please ask for availability and price.

Provided you notify us within that time we will replace any damaged or unhealthy plants, provided that the condition of your plant(s) is not due to neglect, adverse weather conditions or damage caused by animals.
Mail Order Service
We despatch orders between October and March when they are dormant. We now so far as possible dispatch throughout the year. This means that in the summer can dispatch container grown plants. Plants are sent out by carrier on a next day service where possible. If there will be no-one available to accept the delivery, please send instructions with your order detailing where plants can be left. Plants will be despatched on receipt of payment unless a prior agreement has been made.
