Discover the Perfect Trees & Shrubs
for Your Setting

For over 100 years we’ve been focused on growing the very best trees and shrubs for New Zealanders. They can enhance any landscape. They can create an easy, instant sense of heritage. They are used by commercial landscapers to complete architectural visions, delivered to wholesale nurseries all over New Zealand and sold to residential customers who want that perfect garden. Their home is over 30 acres of rich Southland soil and it’s here you’ll find the South Island's largest nursery, with an extended collection of natives, deciduous trees, fruit trees, plants and shrubs.

It’s here you’ll discover exactly what you're looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions to Help You Create a World of Beauty

Yes, you can buy direct from our Southland nursery. We prefer bookings so we can set aside the right time for you.

If you’d like a self‑guided wander instead, you’re welcome to explore the nursery during our opening hours. [Book now]

We’re open Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 4pm.

We don’t offer a planting services, however for specialist projects we recommend working with a landscaper who understands plant species, site conditions and the level of detail your project may need. We can point you toward trusted consultants in your region.

We’re always happy to help with tree selection.

The best time to plant is during the cooler months, from Autumn through to Spring. Trees establish more easily in these Seasons as soil stays moist and temperatures are steady.

Planting is still possible through Summer if irrigation is in place and the site can be kept consistently watered. With the right care, year‑round planting can work well.

We deliver New Zealand wide. Our team arranges delivery for you, whether it’s a single tree or a full project load. We work with trusted transport partners to make sure your trees arrive safely and in great condition.

Get in touch and we’ll talk through the best approach, including pricing.

Yes, we offer contract growing. We have extensive nursery space available and can tailor growing programmes to suit your project quantities and timelines.

If you have specific species or grades in mind, we can grow them to order and keep your supply on track.

Easy Big Trees came highly recommended to me, but I was on a tight deadline to specify some trees, so I made a list of items from their website and asked them if they could produce a listing with images and pricing, emailed through the list at the end of the day, and the complete spreadsheet was there in the morning.
Fantastic follow-up, good people, an easy recommendation.
They know trees, and the range is superb, in all grades.
Brilliant service

Wow, What a place.... We have visited Easy Big Trees 4 times and both George and Ryland have been fantastic.

Every time we have visited the staff (including the admin team) have been friendly and helpful.

I cannot speak highly enough of Easy Big Trees and their staff. Even if you aren't in the market for some trees, i would urge you to stop and have a look around, it is truly amazing.
