Toby buckland website
Toby Buckland has set up a new website
www.tobybuckland.com, he is selling bare-root perennials and roses from November to February and container-grown plants all year round. Presumably this means they will be cheaper? Though how they will travel is a bit of a wonder! He also sells other plants from this site but although we used to buy stuff like this I am not sure we would have travelled miles to get the plants and i don't remember there being much mail order so what advantages would there be? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

They were sent by rail and delivered to you mostly within 2 or 3 days of being sent, sometimes within a day. probably a better service than today as they were handled much more kindly. Today if I buy Chrysanth cuttings they will probably be lifted from the propagating bench and sent virtualy bare rooted, no problems spending 3 or 4 days in transit in the spring or early summer, so trees, shrubs and perenial plants sent bare rooted over the winter when they are dormant will have no problems what so ever, if packed properly.

My question will be "Is he buying in from Holland and just selling on?" David |
