We’re open Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 4pm.
Do you provide a planting service?
We don’t offer a planting service. 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.
When is the best time to plant?
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.
Where do you deliver to, and do you arrange delivery?
We deliver throughout New Zealand. 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.
Do you offer contract growing?
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.
