Gloucestershire based Mount Pleasant Trees provide young bare-rooted trees for hedging, shelterbelts, screening and woodland planting. These are fresh, carefully grown and handled trees with strong roots and great growth potential at competitive prices.
Mixed native hedging is at the heart of our business. We sell species such as hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, field maple, wild privet, oak and lime plus classic ornamental varieties like beech, hornbeam, yew and box. We pride ourselves on supplying a broad range of containerised and bare-rooted arboretum and garden trees, including a strong selection of unusual species.
Whether your priority is stock-proof hedging, meticulous garden design, timber yield or specimen rarity, our range of trees covers the whole planting spectrum.
