Automatic Stem Stripper?!
Hello

I have seen a desk-mounted machine before, that strips the thorns / leaves from stems simply by inserting the flower into the hole on the machine.

As we go through very many flowers a week, the manual conditioning is taking a long time, and not very cost-effective.

However, I just cannot find any reference to the machine in question, as to where to buy one / find one.

Can anyone tell me if they know where I can get one?

Many thanks

Martin

I've seen the machine cutters (which I want desparately for woody stems) but I have never seen a desk mounted stripper. I will ask my friend from the local nursery he has lots of contacts and might know where you can get one Martin. I will see him tomorrow so I will let you know what he say.

What would be interesting Hellier is to let us know how you work etc, most people that join this forum introduce themselves and tell us abit about them.

Uhmmm how lazy. Just use a knife, I do, and manage quite easily to get through conditioning quite quickly.

Yes, happily.

My name is Martin Hellier. I own www.nextdayflowers.co.uk an online florist operation based in Yeovil in Somerset.

I started the business approxiamtely six weeks ago and fulfil around 30 to 40 orders a day which are sent via courier next day guaranteed service.

All is made in house with qualified florists and I do the wholesale trips 3 times aweek as well as all the marketing / website design / product design admin etc etc.

Hope that helps!

Belinda, laziness is not the issue, trust me. The sheer amount of flowers is the issue.
