diane62,



I have been given to understand that the council nurseries are once again giving away trees. It might be worth your while going to have a look to see what they have. Nurseries at Guzelyurt & Lefkosia I think.

I would recommend you purchase smaller specimens. Trees of that size will certainly be pot bound, and the roots will have grown round and round inside the planting pot. These roots will never grow properly and your tree will not thrive and you will waste your money. Also large trres will need substantial staking to withstand the winter winds.
