Maelor Forest Nurseries Ltd
Maelor says NO to imports. We only sell British grown trees. All of our trees are grown here at Maelor throughout their life.
We are a wholesale nursery producing bare root trees and shrubs suitable for forestry, Christmas trees, hedging and native woodland planting.
Due to the acknowledged biosecurity risk of importing pests and diseases when importing plants, we do not import plants, nor purchase from nurseries that do.
All of the plants we supply are grown at Maelor throughout their life, and are free from the risk of cross-contamination by infected imported plants.
Please be aware that we can only supply bare root trees from November to May. FRM Supplier No: S0017
