Can you buy grown trees/shrubs?

[atolhurst]

We've been doing some garden "landscaping" as a few things were rotting (the garden shed, some existing plants) and having taken them down, have now exposed ourselves to our neighbours houses as our garden backs onto the back of their gardens.

Does anyone know any websites or shops/garden centres where you can buy grown trees or shrubs, rather than bab y trees/shrubs as we'd like the border between our neighbours restored sooner rather than later (so we can walk around naked first thing in the morning without feeling we have to duck under the windows!!)

Nothing too high required - 3-5 metres would be good.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend fast growing plants.

Yes, it is possible to buy mature trees and shrubs from some garden centres or speialist tree nurseries, container grown are best but obviously more expensive as they have been cared for, for many years.
Try a google search on NOTTCUTS TREES or BARCHEM TREES.
Maybe some fig leaves will save you any embarrassment :�] Good Luck. T bird+

Any mature trees/shrubs you buy now will need an awful lot of watering in to ensure they survive the tranplantation process, so if you're in a hosepipe ban area I would really delay planting anything until the cooler weather comes. Even then, they will still need to be watered regularly until the roots have become established in their new location, and if you've paid good money for mature trees it would be infuriating to watch them scorch and die in the midsummer heat.
