Majestic Trees supply over 15 award-winning RHS gardens

BALI Registered Affiliate member Majestic Trees have been kept busy this show season fulfilling orders for over 15 gardens across the RHS Shows at Chatsworth, Chelsea and Hampton Court. No small undertaking considering the Chatsworth Power of Trees feature alone required 12 artic loads of trees, and Matthew Childs’ Smart Meter Garden called for over 29 mature specimens.

Although Majestic’s mature trees have featured prominently in show gardens for years, the nursery has seen demand grow rapidly over the last two seasons.

“There seem to be several factors at play”,

says Christina Jones, Marketing & Business Development Manager at Majestic,

“We hope of course that the size and quality of our stock is consistently gold standard. Our trees do invariably attract a lot of attention on delivery! And that show-stopper quality is a crucial ingredient for a successful show garden. A second factor seems to be growing recognition of our manoeuvring expertise. Over the years, many on site have had the opportunity to observe our team efficiently offloading and placing heavy, fragile show garden specimens with no damage or drama. That reassurance becomes very appealing in a situation where stakes are high and time is short! Finally, I think increased awareness of biosecurity threats have discouraged designers from sourcing specimen tree stock directly from foreign growers. Certainly, the RHS discourages this. We are scrupulous in our biosecurity practices which is reassuring to both designers and the RHS as show organisers”.
