Florist News

Hello everyone,

I'll be pruning back my HUGE holly trees in the next week and trying to find out if it's something that would be worth trying to sell round my local florists. (West Yorkshire area).

They've got a fantastic load of berries on them this year, and I'd like to know if its worth the effort. Would you want it kept on the larger branches to snip to size or trimmed down to, say, 1 foot lengths?

Or am I too late in the season?

All advice gratefully received

You could allways give it away

If you were nearer to east yorks i would have it. Your not too late and holly with berries would be attractive to most. If you have the time, ring some of your local florists and see what the response is.

I would say most florists would buy it off you, as we have probably only bought in a little (if any) as yet. You could even approach a wholesaler or two at the flower market if you wanted shut of the lot all at once, although you wouldn't get as much for it.
1 foot lengths is probably best for florists as we don't have much room, and that size will easily plonk into a bucket without having to do anything to it

I suppose chesterfield is too far for you (we're nearly in yorkshire!) but i'll have some if you happen to pass this way

good luck

sarah
