Services
Container-grown trees
Our container production unit at Whitehall Road grows trees in 1-200 litre pots, ensuring year-round planting flexibility. This method maintains root integrity for better transplant success. Our range includes ornamental, shade, and specimen varieties suitable for urban and rural environments.
Field production
Brick Hill Farm's field production supplies feathered whips to semi-mature rootballed trees. This traditional growing method develops strong root systems for long-term establishment. We cultivate specimen hedging and topiary plants in open-field conditions for enhanced hardiness.
Fruit trees
We produce specialist fruit trees including apple, pear, and cherry varieties for commercial and domestic planting. Our grafting programme maintains heritage cultivars while developing disease-resistant modern strains. Trees are available bare-root or container-grown depending on season.
Garden centre
Our Cleckheaton garden centre offers trade and public access to full stock range plus landscaping materials. Open seven days with expert staff assistance, it features seasonal displays and workshop facilities for horticultural education and community engagement.
Propagation services
In-house propagation at Whitehall Road produces new cultivars through micropropagation and budding techniques. Our team develops improved plant varieties with enhanced disease resistance and ornamental characteristics. This programme supports both commercial stock production and conservation efforts.
