Tree Sourcing

Where a particular size, variety or form is critical to a planting design, our established nursery network can be invaluable. As an experienced grower, we have long-standing relationships with nurseries and purchase in significant volumes, putting us in a strong position to negotiate competitive prices and favourable delivery terms, as well as access to a wide choice of quality trees. This network has been developed over many years through regular purchasing from trusted growers across Europe.

Tree sourcing services can vary in how they operate. At Majestic Trees, we take a hands-on approach to sourcing, with the same standards we apply when selecting trees for our own nursery. Our priority is to source trees that meet the required specification and quality, rather than simply identifying the lowest-cost option.

Our Managing Director spends several weeks each winter visiting nurseries, personally selecting stock for Majestic Trees to grow on. When sourcing for a customer, we will only offer trees that we would personally be happy to purchase and grow on ourselves, because our reputation is critical to our long-term success. Where possible, we will provide photographs of the actual specimens, and once specially sourced stock arrives at our nursery, you have the right to inspect and reject it before committing to the purchase.

Be careful not to be misled by ‘virtual nurserymen’ who are simply brokers with no real stock of their own. One of the best ways to distinguish a broker from a bona fide grower is to ask whether you can visit their nursery, view their stock and personally select the trees you would like to purchase.
