It has been a good first half of the growing season, plants have in the main become established and despite some late sowing in the nurseries, next years crops are establishing well.

There will be shortages of some species this coming winter so probably advisable to reserve stock in good time for the winter if planning substantial projects.  Spiral guard prices will be reduced for this coming season and summer stocking prices available until end September.

A bit of extra warmth would however certainly help growth even more. Hope all 2023-24 plantations are thriving.
