Aldgate Tree Farm

Very happy with our recent purchases of ornamental trees. Excellent selection of trees you can't find at other nurseries, but the best is that it is matched by the expert knowledge and help we received in making our selection. Another star for after hours delivery, so we were home to receive them.

Had what I wanted in stock, friendly helpful staff.

Been coming here years and love the place. Maples are astounding.

Bought a feature tree for my front yard today as I'm working on establishing a front garden. I chose an ornamental cherry blossom, the Mt. Fuji variety, and I couldn't be happier with the tree bought. A deposit was made on the tree before we saw it, so to see the tree in the flesh and see how healthy it was, was reassuring.Upon getting the tree home, I noticed a couple of leaves had a bit of discolouration which looked a bit unhealthy, but I don't think that it is anything to be worried about, I simply removed those couple of leaves.The Gentleman that I spoke to, was very knowledgeable about how to ensure that the tree had the best start to its life in my front garden, he told me everything that I, a green-thumb needed to know regarding pest control and getting the planting medium ready (I have a lot of clay in my soil, so needed to get some organic compost and gypsum), but also showed me where to prune it to encourage new growth and get that ball rolling so to speak. Not only was he very knowledgeable, he was also a down to earth and humble person and it showed. He didn't give off the vibe that he had better things to do with his time then to spend some time advising an inexperienced gardener on how to care for, and prepare the soil for such a tree.Overall a warm and memorable experience. All I have to do is now is not kill it with kindness. Fingers crossed!
