Mr Clifford at Hawthorn near Easington. 

This site is close to the sea and very exposed, the hedge in the photograph is 2 metres high after 4 years growth, asked what he thought of the trees, Mr Clifford replied “excellent, easy to plant, easy to maintain, and fantastic growth.”

Mr Walton of Sedgefield is the 7^th generation of the farming family says:

“Cell grown stock is so easy to plant, I use a subsoiler, putting the tractor in crawler box I can plant 200 metres of hedging in less than an hour. I still get 100% survival rate and fantastic growth; some of my hedges are 2 metres high after just 2 years growth. Cell grown is so good I would never use bare root again!”

Mr Hutchinson who has arable farms in south east Durham, says:

“Over the last three years we have had very good results using cell grown plants from Butterwick Trees. We find them easy and quick to plant and a lot of new hedgeline is created every day. The plants establish well with few losses and grow on strongly.”
