Our tubes are trimmed and maintained in the shadehouse before they are potted up, reducing outside maintenance and labour. All our murraya tubes are tipped before leaving the shadehouse to promote growth and form a nice bushy habit. We occassionally have an excess of stock from time to time and can sell tubes direct from our shadehouse. Please contact Anneke at the nursery.

In propagation we aim to keep the conifer and shrub production separate, they have different ideal growing times and different misting requirements. Once the cuttings have developed roots, the tubes are transfered onto dry beds to promote further root growth and prepare them for tubing. Here at Glenleigh we have three full-time propagation staff, one focuses solely on conifers and the other two on shrubs.

We utilise every last piece of the nursery for plants and leave nothing unmaintained. There are three beds of 140mm pots that we both sell and use for potting up. This is a big space saver for us as many varieties we grow take over 6 months to grow to size from a tube into a 200mm pot. Every other bed is used for the growth of 200mm stock, each Spring we have a batch of 250mm hooped trachelospermum jasminoides, that are very popular, and at Christmas we have available a large number of 200mm Juniperus Spartans, that retailers use as Christmas Tree look alikes!
