Suppliers
Looking for a plant?
Ordering tips
- Check if the supplier is B2B-only.
- Ask for the latest catalogue, it sometimes has content not published on website.
- Ask about the plant origin, genetic selection criteria and special characteristics.
- Check propagation method and age in propagation medium.
- Some nurseries also provide seeds or cuttings although not typically listed in the catalogue.
- If ordering dioecious plants, ask for male/female or a mix of both.
- Tray containers sometimes have more than one plant per slot (on Sambucus nigra, Ribes nigrum..) due to seeding method.
- Check seedling for trunk girdling, remove any wires that can cause future girdling.
- Reserve the order weeks or months in advance and add more items as you decide.
- Nurseries generally have the most stock in the fall, plan for orders then.
- Check shipping duration and order early in the week to prevent transit during the weekend.
- Check how many plants fit in a delivery box to prevent unecessary additional shipments.
