Euonymus europaeus 'Thornhayes'

The nursery, established on 13 acres of land by Kevin and Pat Croucher in 1991, now extends to 33 acres of field and container production. Besides Pat and Kevin, there is a hard working group of skilled and qualified staff, several of whom have been with the business for over 10 years.

A combination of plantsmanship and commercial growing skills results in the production of one of the broadest ranges of trees available in the UK. This range includes an extensive choice of broadleaf and coniferous amenity trees and hedging, plus hundreds of tree fruit varieties. Our trees are produced to a high quality, with emphasis on a sound root structure and a well formed crown, at a competitive price to appeal to both our wholesale and retail customers. Trees are both field and container grown, ranging in size from whip to heavy standard, including a range of multi-stemmed trees. All our container grown plants are grown in totally peat free compost.

Our customer base is as broad as our range. We supply Landscape Contractors and Garden Designers, Retail and Wholesale Nurseries, Private Gardeners, Large Estates and Charities.

Customers are welcome to visit the nursery to view stock at anytime of year. Except in high summer, it is usually advisable to bring boots. We can offer skilled advice to both our professional and amateur customers on all aspects of designing, planting and managing trees, both large and small scale. A site visit/consultancy service is also available.
