So into December – and a blast of winter seems to have arrived!  From incredibly mild temperatures in November – we are now into a more seasonal pattern – which although no doubt unpopular with some – is actually quite welcome on the nursery since it puts things back how they should be.  The trees are now at last losing their leaves – and going into dormancy – and can take a well-earned rest until spring!

No rest for the staff yet though – a very busy week at the nursery – we have dealt with hundreds of orders on hedging and fruit – and have now cleared the back-log – we have had new stock in of Raspberry Autumn Bliss which has proved incredibly popular this year – along with Damson Merryweather – all these items are now available again.

We have also sent out a huge order of Buckthorn for an offer in association with the Suffolk Butterfly Council, Ipswich Borough Council and the Suffolk Naturalists Society.  The Buckthorns are the host plant of the brimstone butterfly – and we all hope to encourage far more of them into East Suffolk.  For more info visit suffolkbutterflies.org.uk or email brimstone@suffolkbutterflies.org.uk

As we get closer to Christmas – many people buy trees and plants as lasting gifts for loved ones – what could be better than a fruit or ornamental tree that will give years of pleasure!!

We do also offer Crown Nursery Gift Vouchers which also make excellent gifts for those who are unsure which tree or plant to give!!   Ideal for that last minute bit of Christmas shopping!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME – STAY WARM!
