We are beginning to build up our small tree nursery, growing mainly native trees for sale locally. In the future we aim to grow around 1000 trees per year. It is extremely important to plant trees of the correct provenance to give them the best chance of thriving, so we are well placed to grow trees suited to Sutherland, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland.

All our trees are grown from locally sourced seed or cuttings, and they are started off in spring inside a glasshouse, but moved outdoors as soon as we can. We then grow them on for two seasons, giving strong plants (most cell grown trees are one season old when sold, as they are raised inside). We grow our trees in cells, so that they can be transplanted at any time of the year.

We use only peat free compost and croft-made natural liquid feeds. In the future we intend for our compost to be all made on the croft too, mainly from composted woodchip.

We also sell a range of willow cuttings for basketry, screening, hedging and firewood.

We have cell grown trees available at the moment, visit the shop for a list of species and prices.
