New for 2008

We are now able to supply a limited number of pot grown native broadleaves and conifers for planting in spring/summer, as well as rootrainers.

Our Tree Nursery in Devon specialises in propagating and growing species of trees and shrubs which are found growing in the woods and hedgerows of the British Isles.

Perrie Hale Forest Nursery was established in Devon in 1957 and has been run by the same family for the past 50 years.

In that time we have gained considerable experience in growing a wide range of native trees and shrubs from seeds and cuttings. We grow on 14 acres of well drained ground on the edge of the Blackdown Hills. We can offer bare-rooted seedlings/transplants and feathered whips in a wide range of species.

If you want to plant a mixed native hedge, windbreak, shelterbelt, large plantation, small coppice, or simply a few trees in the corner of a field, then we hope this site will help you.

Most of our stock is grown from seed, although some species such as Salix (willow) and Cornus (dogwood) are grown from cuttings

Seedlings remain in the open ground seed beds for one or two years and are then either undercut in the beds or transplanted to produce a fibrous root system. The plants are then lifted to order and despatched in co-extruded plant bags which prevent the plants from drying out in transit.

Our Nursery is inspected by the Forestry Commission to ensure that we comply with the E.C. Forest Reproduction Material Regulations. We are also inspected annually by D.E.F.R.A. to comply with Plant Health Regulations.
