The National Plant Specification

Getting what you ask for!

All of our stock is grown in line with the HTA (Horticultural Trades Association) National Plant Specification. This is a recognised UK standard for the supply of trees and shrubs and means that you, the customer, can specify EXACTLY what size and form of tree or plant you require - and that's what you'll get!

It is a simple set of guidelines to help aid the buying of plants.  Using standardised sizes, forms and measures allows for a clear understanding of what to specify - and what to expect when the plants arrive.

To experience the NPS first-hand and receive accredited training for anyone involved in the design, specification, purchasing, handling or maintenance of plants for landscaping schemes, see our own Training Course.
