Picking & Planting

Picking
All our Plants are bare root,fully matured and of the highest quality.
* We take great care when picking to ensure they have a good root system.
* We cut the stems to ensure ease of transport,less wind damage and to encourage faster
   growth through the rhizomes.
*We pick our plants as close to planting time as possible to ensure healthy plants.

Planting
We also provide a planting service and work with our clients to ensure the plants are planted with care at whatever specifications our client requires.

Our Plants
​We specifically target plants that,in our experience,are best suited to vigorous growth. This ensures that any integrated constructed wetland ( reed bed ) can work to its maximum efficiency in the shortest timespan.
