For retail customers, there is our online shop. Here you can buy seeds of the same high quality that our professional nurserymen demand. We dispatch worldwide. Exports outside the EU often require phytosanitary certificates that we can arrange at an additional cost. Please contact us if this applies.

For wholesale customers we provide the widest range of species and provenances available. Please contact us for your individual requirements and quotes. Seed supplied wholesale carries full certification and we provide all necessary export paperwork.

New Stock Additions

We have now finished collecting and processing oak, beech and many of the berried species.  Once processing is in-hand, we start to concentrate our efforts on stratification. Every species required a different length of treatment so starting everything at the correct time is crutial. Each batch then has to be mixed and monitored weekly to ensure the best results.

Species that have recently become available includes:

Sophora japonica (Japanese pagoda tree)

Sequoiadendron giganteum (Wellingtonia)

Tsuga heterophylla (Western Hemlock)

Chamaecyparis obtusa (Hinoki cypress)

Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar)

Sequoia sempervirens (Californian redwood)
