Competitive prices are meaningless if quality cannot be assured. That’s why their Quality Control is uncompromisingly thorough. Whether you have a few pots on a patio or a nine acre nursery, the biggest challenge is dealing with pests and diseases. They never use pesticides as the first line of attack, employing, instead, a rigorous Integrated Pest Management system. Their crops are walked every working day so any pests or fungus/bacterial infection can be dealt with before they spread. They introduce predators to keep inevitable and common pests like whitefly, red spider mites and no fewer than 30 different species of aphids at bay and use special polythene sheets supplied by XL Horticulture to filter out certain wavelengths of light to reduce the aphid population by inhibiting mobility and breeding. Constant vigilance is needed – a female red spider mite may only live for five days, but that’s all the time she needs to lay 200 viable eggs.

With pests under control, they need to deal with that other horticultural necessity – water. They have installed a highly efficient gantry system for irrigation. Well-proven in Germany but rarely seen in the UK, it helps produce a far more consistent crop requiring less picking through and grading at dispatch. It also significantly reduces water usage.

Last, but certainly not least, our plants. All the species they sell have been trialled and tested by them to ensure they are suitable for the UK. All their plants are potted on and managed by them – they have a custom designed machine capable of potting 14,000 plants per day. All their container plants are grown on site giving them complete control over every aspect of quality and handling.

In short, the time spent on strict supervision and rigorous daily monitoring ensures they produce healthy, robust hedging and lavender plants that will arrive at their customers in prime condition.
