Old Hall do them, but so do a few others - Google "mature shrub suppliers"

Thanks bamboo, I want to fill a gap and at almost seventy can`t afford to wait. ha ha.

Good point, Stroller, lol, but don't get anything too mature - they transplant less well the older they are, and there's much more risk they won't survive.

Thanks bamboo

Check out Junkers Nursery - www.junker.co.uk - I have had some good size shrubs from them and they always come with good cultural instructions plus a plastic tube to sink beside them to ensure water gets to the roots. Karan Junker is also very helpful

Good site Andrew but a little to expensive once the delivery charges are on.

Hi Stroller... New channel on freeview, channell 41, ideal world extra has been around for the last few weeks. From about 1pm tp 5pm they have been featuring plants etc. Some of the shrubs look quite large and established. Seem reasonaby priced but then there is the post and packaging :)

Thanks Dylandog, will check this out.

you could also look up fast growing shrubs, things like cornus alba or cotinus and budleija quite fast growing also Crocus website sometimes have good offers, like half price bamboos depends on how big you want it to grow as some shrubs grow very big dont they theres also the sambucus (elder) some nice purple leaved ones.

Thanks Daylily, Going to a plant sale next Saturday so will perhaps find something there.
