Sourcing mature shrubs

    Anyone recommend a place to source large mature shrubs? We have a shrubbery on our estate which is being used as a short cut to the main road and as a result a lot of the shrubs have been killed and the ground trampled to a hard pan.
    We are hoping that if we can plant large mature shrubs we can discourage people from crossing the shrubbery but have had little success in sourcing them, most seem to come no larger than a 3 litre pot.

    where do you live? tully's may be your best bet if in dublin - it's near blakes cross on the northside.
    there's also a place called kellys, near horseleap in the midlands, if that's more suited to you?

    I'm in Wexford but I'll try the two you mention, most nurseries will deliver these days. Thanks

    http://gardenworld.ie/ in Kilcoole (Wicklow) have an incredible stock of mature shrubs and trees, but they prefer to deal with commercial sales only.

    If they won't supply direct they might be able to point you to a local landscaper who they supply.

    Kinbark nurseries near Enniscorthy have a big range of mature trees and shrubs.
