Hi my name is Alan Dayman (Al) and for 40 years my family have been growers of plants and trees from our 11 acre site in Cossington, Leicestershire. Every year Derrys Nurseries opens our gates to customers looking for a tray of pansies, a pot and compost as well as trees and stone for your garden. I have seen Nurseries and Garden centres change over the years and many local sites are closing due t

o the rising costs of operating. At Derry’s we have diversified and made use of new technologies and skills and with my son Ash we were able to move into new areas such as Tree Surgery. As a result of this we were able to recycle the trees that had to be taken down and turn them into logs for fuel. Many people have tried different methods to keep cut logs dry and reduce the moisture contained within the log such as Kiln Drying. We have found that when processing Kiln Dried logs it increases the cost to the customer dramatically. We had to find away to speed up the drying process without adding cost to the customer and to make cut logs a cost effective alternative to gas and coal. As we have been growers for 40 years we have a lot of onsite poly tunnels that are designed to keep the heat in and the cold out. Typically the Kiln Drying process uses fuel to heat the logs and remove moisture down to under 20%. Using a DR Meter, Moisture meter we are able to provide supplied Hardwood logs to you with moisture content of around 20% and in most cases less. We don’t need to impact the environment by using gas or electricity to dry logs. We are making use of our existing facilities. The speed in which our process dries logs is exceptionally fast meaning faster, lower cost turnaround times.

We pride ourselves on being able to source some really unusual trees. Anything special you want you can call us and if we haven’t got it we can try to get it for you within 7-10 days. Here is our friend from the Netherlands telling us about Heptacodium, also known as the Seven Sons Flower Tree. As the name suggests it flowers and it grows tall and strong enough that children can climb in it 💚

Here is a tree you don’t see that often: Davidia Involucrata also known as the handkerchief tree because of the very unusual flowering bracts that make it look like the tree is adorned with white handkerchiefs. They can take a very long time to flower and never grow that tall so they can be used in a memorial setting or as part of a group of specialist trees for any gardeners looking to include an unusual specimen tree in their gardens 💚
