Have just had our Christmas tree delivered, and have put it up-the reason for ordering our tree from you was because I have just had a major operation and cannot go out or drive until the new year-I saw your website, and your guarantee if not satisfied you will collect the tree free of charge-I was hoping it would be okay. It is the best tree we have ever purchased! Tall and bushy with lots of lovely branches, the stump cut nicely, it stands up nice and straight And smells absolutely wonderful-thank you so much for helping to make this Christmas very special for us all-we have decided to order our tree from you every year now. We are extremely satisfied customers. Wishing you All a very Happy Christmas.
Thank YouTina Langridge
Coastal Hedge Plants
Coastal Hedging and Screening Plants
Coastal hedge plants need to have the combined qualities of being good in the wind, not minding salt and growing in sandy and often poor soils. The plants on this list all do just that. Some prefer warmer areas, some flower, some have good foliage. But they are all good seaside "doers" and are excellent for proving low windbreaks, cover for wildlife and extremely low maintenance privacy hedges (just think what a seaside gale does to a close boarded fence). If your location is not as fierce as some, then take a look at our full list of hedge plants.
