Hi, we have been given permission to fell a large horsechestnut now
considered to be unsafe. That permission has been granted with the
condition that we replace it with a 6-9ft Hornbeam. Any ideas as to
where we might purchase such a tree and who might plant it for us?

We are in the North West of England, south Manchester.

Many thanks, hope you can help.


I expect you should be able to find a tree nursery near to you if you
'google' , but here is one link. 'Welcome to Majestic Trees - Majestic
Trees' (http://tinyurl.com/3ryhwwb)


Don't bother with 'Majestic Trees'. I am currently designing a garden for a
new hospital. looking to source mature trees for planting next March. I
contacted Majestic Trees a month ago, only to discover that they were 'too
busy to bother with my order'. I suppose that a £2500 order is too small for
them to get out of bed for!

Try Helen Carvery at -
She is most helpful and they will certainly have what you want.
