Thank you very much for the Orange tree complete with flowers and baby oranges. You truly are a Victorian nursery I used to pack all the trees I sent out by rail using straw bundles similar to yours. Actually we used long straw and no outer polythene.We also used twine macramed on the outside to hold the bundle together. There is nothing wrong with your packing. It remided me of the old days. I am 78. Now I have to find a suitable container whivh no doubt will be expensive. Versailles sell them and a pottery in the south of France makes the other tradional type. I was a bit surprised when I visited Kew Gardens, that they did not have one single orange tree in their orangerie. Lovely web site and lovely young orange tree in perfect order.

Spring Is On Its Way
So after a Winter of no proper Winter the first week of March brought us snow, hard frosts, hail and more snow!
Halfway through March now and the weather has most definitely changed and, dare it be said, is nearly perfect! Sharply cold nights followed by glorious sunny days - the cold keeps things in check whilst the bright sunshine ensures for sturdy and strong growth as plants don't struggle to find the light as they have had to previously in gloomy grey days.
So much is going on on the nursery we don't know where to start (and probably watching the video above will give a better insight) - but similarly for gardeners all over the UK things should be the same with not knowing what to do next; to try and make things clearer, we'd simply say follow what we're doing! So get on with your bare root fruit and hedging planting outside, whilst propagating like mad inside - simple!
Be sure to keep up to date with where we are with our sowings and propagation at the nursery by following us on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ as we post our daily updates and general banter with a grin.
