wilberfoss

Hi, I'm Richard Shepherdson, second from right, and I've been growing with Johnsons for ten years. We grow millions of transplants here in what are perfect conditions. During the season we can lift and despatch them in huge quantities at very short notice.

At Wilberfoss we have over 100Ha of land which was once the bed of an inland sea. The silty sandy soil helps the young trees to produce exceptionally fibrous root systems. We are one of the few nurseries left in the UK producing this kind of stock on this scale. Our transplants are used to mitigate the environmental impact of road and rail construction projects, as well as in reforestation and countryside management schemes and other landscape situations.
