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.

Cultivation Guidance
- On Arrival
- We often trim the tops to ensure basal branching and for the hedge to grow thick before dispatch.
- This is a natural growing hedge, alternate the young plants for more interest. We simply label each variety batch but not each subject.
- Remember growing in a shady position will reduce the growth of the plants.
- A mulch of spent mushroom compost or well rotted manure planting is beneficial.
- Do not use any stimulants or bone meal at planting time.
- Aftercare
- Once well established this hedge can be cut by conventional hedge trimmers, but only in winter before the birds start nesting.
