Hi, we have been given permission to fell a large horsechestnut now
considered to be unsafe.  That permission has been granted with the
condition that we replace it with a 6-9ft Hornbeam.  Any ideas as to
where we might purchase such a tree and who might plant it for us?  


We are in the North West of England, south Manchester.

Many thanks, hope you can help.

Don't bother with 'Majestic Trees'. I am currently designing a garden for a
new hospital. looking to source mature trees for planting next March. I
contacted Majestic Trees a month ago, only to discover that they were 'too
busy to bother with my order'. I suppose that a £2500 order is too small for
them to get out of bed for!

Try Helen Carvery at - Helen@barchamtrees.co.uk
She is most helpful and they will certainly have what you want.

Not Migdale Hospital, by any chance?
