Chew Valley Trees

Amazing nursery with top quality trees and shrubs. Be warned this has no frills, the nursery is bare track and outside so wrap up warm with sensible footwear. With their stock best planted in autumn, winter and spring you will find this nursery is shut on Saturdays during July and August. You can buy whole lengths of hedging here, as well as young to mature trees including ornamental, conifer and fruit trees.
I have bought an unusual cherry variety here and it was in great condition and now living happily in my garden. They also supplied me with the equipment to stake the tree securely and lots of advice on looking after it — although it has pretty much been left to fend for itself and is growing so much each year.
You can get plants delivered — expect to pay 10% of the bill (minimum charges apply plus VAT) — or they are very helpful at getting things into your car!
I can’t recommend this place enough — specialist nurseries should always be chosen over garden centres and if you are spending this amount of money on one plant then you want to ensure it has a healthy enough start. Talking of prices, my boyfriend was shocked to pay £70 for a tree. until I pointed out that the nursery had grown this from seedling and cared for it for several years already and that it will last us a lifetime. You can buy smaller whips from here if your budget is tight but you will have to wait a few years before you get a proper tree in your garden.
