    I'm trying to find a tree nursery that can supply Carpinus Betulus (European hornbeam) Orange Retz (to replace two that were eaten by a neighbour's horses this summer!).
    It seems there are very few (I can only find four) nurseries in the UK selling this variety and those that do have them in stock are either the wrong size or they can't deliver.
    Does anybody know of any nurseries selling this variety?
    Thanking you in advance for any suggestions/recommendations

    Many thanks for your response. Yes I've contacted Grasslands and they have two that would fit the bill - about 5 foot -but the cost of delivery is more than the trees because they insist on sending them on a pallet!. (In fact it was from Grasslands who I bought the two last year and then they came just bound and wrapped in). Don't know why they insist on a pallet.
    I'm looking for anything between 5 and 8 ft.
    Thanks again anyway for your response
