2011/2012 Season - Lifting and Despatching Update Tuesday 3rd January 2012. 

A happy New Year to you all from a wet and stormy Weasdale.

First light this morning revelaed an old Prunus avium 'Plena' (the double-flowered Wild Cherry) lying on its side near the office, having relinquished its grip on terra firma overnight in the gales.  We'll miss its spectacular show of blossom in April, but the upside is that it will yield a ton of logs for the fire.  And, what's more, we know where we can find a replacement tree.

With the mild finish to 2011, everyone who ordered trees for delivery before Christmas will have received them and now we are into the orders requestd for 2012 delivery and the new ones that arrived over the festive break.  It's amazing how many out there found quiet solace on our website over the holiday period, even on Christmas day!

We are only 1/3 of the way into the 2011-12 planting season, so there is plenty of time to sort out your requirements for this year.  Please remember or, know that, we are one of the last nurseries in the country to close its doors for bare-root plant despatches in the spring.  Our northerly latitude, altitude and north-facing site all conspire to keep our plants tightly budded until long after most of the rest of the country is bathed in the green-ness and blossoms of Spring; our last orders usually leave us in late April or early May.  We don't use cold stores - there's no need, as nature provides our very own outdoor one for us.

Red Squirrels

Many of you may know that the nurseries here are a stronghold of the endangered native Red Squirrel and we are on the front line of the invading Grey Squirrel's territory.  This year, we shall be reviving a "Squirrel Added Tax" which will mean that 10p per tree sold from the qualifying conifers, will be paid over at the end of the season to our local Red Squirrel conservation group.  You can do you bit by choosing your trees from the list of qualifying trees.  (There will be a link to click here very soon)

In the meantime, for an "aaah!" moment, click here: Bold little Red Squirrel for a brief introduction to an endearing friend of ours....   Her first approach was in the depths of a bitterly cold winter 2009, when probably particularly hungry.

Weasdale Nurseries are suppliers of bare root trees, Conifers, Hardy trees and shrubs, Hedge plants and planting sundries such as tree stakes, shelters and ties all by mail order.
