NOTE ON SIZES.
we try to give an accurate idea of the size of plant we are offering (Half Standards are on a 5ft clean stem with a well-defined head), but occasionally we may have other sizes available as well as or instead of the trees on this list. Also, some trees are very slow growing - if the size seems small this is because this is the maximum age at which the Tree can be safely transplanted. If you have any queries about this list please don’t hesitate to contact us. janelane@btconnect.com
