Very impressed with the cherry trees recieved in perfect condition.planted as per instructions.I would like advice, as now I have got them I am told I will never have cherries as the birds always get there first.As the trees max height is 8ft is there some way I can protect them and when is it the beast time to offer this protection. I would be grateful for your advice.

Here on the nursery we have found hanging old cd's in the tree the most effective method of control; these must be in place from approximately mid March until after the fruit has been harvested.

Gardening Books
Quite simply, you can never have too many gardening books!
Our selection of books is suitable for novices and keen gardeners alike, and reflects our ethos that things should be done 'nature's way' and always with nature in mind. More...
With gardening, techniques may change, and ideas may fall in and out of fashion, but the premise and theory - for the most part - remains the same! Yet for amateur and keen gardeners alike, there is an abundance of knowledge and gardening wisdom to be learned, so what better way to spend your non-gardening time than by reading about it?
The Shirley family are immensely proud of their private collection of books on gardening and horticultural practice, some of which date back hundreds of years. We have endeavoured to create a small but perfectly formed listing of books that we think will be of great use to gardeners of all abilities, but which also reflect our own ethos that things are done according to 'nature's way'.
Whilst we don't claim that any of the books in this listing are exclusive to Victoriana, we would say that they seem to be harder to find in the shops than they ought to be, given their merit!
