Tamata will be exhibiting at Four Oaks 2013 for the very first time showcasing our high quality mature age Japanese Maples grown in New Zealand.
Acclimatised in the UK for up to two years, our centrally located nursery at Rugby has over 20 varieties of Japanese Maples with sizes ranging from 45L to 200L, forms including multi-stem, single stem, feathered and ½ standard. Each tree has its own characteristics whether it be dazzling seasonal leaf colour, striking winter bark or interesting growth shape.

|
|
|
 |
Our trees are ideal for those looking to create either a centrepiece or the supporting planting in an instant garden. Alternatively, as our trees are mature, they can be a colourful addition to a well-established garden.
From a sustainable practice perspective, Tamata has committed to measure, manage and reduce our carbon footprint through the carboNZero certification scheme. We then purchase carbon credits to offset any remaining footprint, so are truly carbon neutral.
We welcome Wholesale Nurseries and those in the garden architecture and design field to visit our nursery for a first-hand appreciation of what we have to offer, or see us at Stand E61 at the Show. |

Propagator of Blooms of Bressingham varieties |

Walter Blom Plants is a supplier of premium quality herbaceous perennials and shrubs to wholesale growers. Top grade bare roots, unrooted cuttings and plugs are available for over 2000 varieties. These include an extensive range from Blooms of Bressingham, for whom Walter Blom is a licensed propagator. The following varieties will be on display:
Leucanthemum ‘Freak’ - a fast production rate and off-the-wall appearance; its more conventional stable-mate Leucanthemum ‘Engelina’ - an excellent variety for garden design; Hardy Geraniums Rozanne™ and its descendant Geranium Azure Rush®, a vigorous, self-branching plant with large 6cm light blue flowers from May until frost; Geranium ‘Sylvia’s Surprise’ - a sturdy easy to grow variety featuring eye-catching vivid pink flowers with pale centres that appear in early summer, ease off in hot weather and return in late summer until frost. Red autumn foliage is also a bonus.
Euphorbia ‘Frosted Flame’ has some of the most striking foliage, changing colour through the seasons. In summer and autumn its variegated leaves are splashed with irregular cream, grey-green and red markings. The foliage takes on a red glow in the winter until early spring. This one is so good that it was a top pick in the Colorado State University trials (USA) and the Alberta Perennial trials (Canada) in 2011, underlining its adaptability to a wide climate range.

Other varieties for 2014 include Rudbeckia ‘Viettes Little Suzy’, an attractive dwarf variety of this popular, easy-to-grow perennial and Tricyrtis ‘Taipei Silk’, which produces larger flowers continuously from August to September, often until hard frost. |

For more than 10 years HSK, the Tree Fern Professionals have been a main supplier to the trade of Tree Ferns. We dispatch orders ranging from full wooden sided pallets to direct deliveries of containers.
Our Tree Fern sales package includes large colour labels, a high quality point of sale banner and “Tree Fern Feed” – a specialist fertilizer which gives a Tree Fern the food it needs to produce vigorous growth. It is also a positive additional sale as it helps to explain the specialist care needed to get the best results from Tree Ferns.
We are also the main trade supplier of Wollemi Pine which was thought to be extinct but was discovered in 1994. The tree pictured was one of the first to be planted after its discovery and is one of the few mature trees to which there is public access.
Both Tree Ferns and Wollemi Pine are architectural plants that work well with our selection of driftwood sculptures from New Zealand. The most recent addition to our specialist range is a “Bamboo Control System” which is being used more and more when planting bamboo, to direct, control and enhance its growth so that beautiful areas of bamboo can be created, adding sound and movement to a garden.
The Bamboo Control System is available in an easy-to-move display unit with clear informative instructions on each roll. Now pre-packed with 4, 7, 10 and 20 metre length rolls to reflect demand and mix of sales during the first year.

Cohen Propagation Nurseries are one of the leading suppliers of unrooted cuttings for bedding and basket plants.
The Petunia Happy Giant is a completely new series, bred by Breier in Israel, and introduced for the first time commercially to the market in season 2012-2013.
The varieties were bred under Israeli climate, meaning they have a good tolerance to warmer weather conditions. In the first season we introduced 8 varieties, all with half hanging habits and giant flowers. Additionally, the Happy Giant is also early flowering compared to other varieties in this group. From these 8 varieties we introduced 2 very special bicolored varieties which were also chosen during the last Pack Trials in California as two of the most attractive varieties in the trials.
The stock of the Petunia Happy Giant will be kept exclusively by Cohen in Israel and cuttings are available for all our clients.
The mother plants are built from SEE material with NAKT certification and the stock is kept in Level A production. You are more than welcome to contact our office for any additional information of pictures you might need. |

Kieft Seed offers a full line-up of unique, high-quality seed perennials. Professional growers count on our innovative yet solid genetics, reliable quality, personalised service and easy “one-stop shopping” to keep their program moving like a well-oiled machine.
Digitalis Dalmatian – New fast unique colours
This is the fastest seed Digitalis to market – just 15 to 17 weeks from sowing to sales as an early Summer annual. Dalmatian produces uniform plant height and is early flowering making programming easy. Plus, the plants make a great centre piece on retail end-of-aisles. Three fantastic new colours are introduced for 2013, that all have the same short harvest window as the existing White and Purple colours: Peach, (a unique and in-demand colour), Cream and Rose. |

Echinacea Cheyenne Spirit –
The best colour mix on the market
This first-year flowering seed perennial produces a rich colour mixture of orange, red, rosy-red, yellow, purple and cream in one sowing or plug tray rather than purchasing several individual colours of alternative varieties. Cheyenne Spirit will delight and inspire growers and consumers alike with excellent strong branching plant habit and flower quality. This variety can be used in a professional perennial programme or as a first-year flowering annual from a January sowing – giving you time and money. It requires no additional chemicals to produce a strong mid-height bulky plant in a 13cm pot (or larger), enjoys a sunny spot in garden beds and is well suited to landscape plantings.
Consumers will enjoy the gorgeous colours from July to September, on durable, sun-loving plants with low water needs.
Many of the Perennial novelties from Kieft can be found in the new Ball Colegrave Lasting Beauty Perennials Catalogue. See us on the Ball Colegrave stand to discuss the latest innovations for 2013. |

Flier Systems is a dedicated supplier of customer specific machines and systems. They are capable of automating processes such as peat blocking, sowing, sticking cuttings and grading. Development, production and installation are carried out by their own skilled professionals. At Four Oaks 2013 Flier will present their latest Drum Seeder DS11 and their Germination Vision System PM31 on stands D 122a, 122, 123a & 123.
The Drum Seeder DS11 is capable of sowing any type of (unpelleted) seed at high speed, and precision in rockwool (plugs & blocks), trays and soil blocks. The best results are achieved when a specifically designed sowing drum is used for each variety of seed. Because of their unique design, Flier sowing drums are comparatively inexpensive and have a fast and easy change over. In most cases, seed doesn’t have to be coated.

The Germination Vision System PM31 is designed for the grading of young (vegetable) plants in trays, especially young tomato plants. There is also a PM21 (basic model) suitable for bedding plants. The PM31 gives considerable savings in labour costs and improvement in quality. It is possible to eliminate plants that have not germinated (well) with the optional air unit. Nurseries using this system have recovered their investment within one season!

Over the past 15 years Botanics International has worked with some of the leading breeding companies around the world & developed a worldwide network of contacts bringing new varieties & ideas to growers & propagators.
The company specialises in the supply of unrooted cuttings & young plants from its global supplier base. Two particularly strong lines on show will be Gerberas from Florist Holland & Dahlias from Verwer Dahlia BV. Florist Holland is the market leader in pot Gerbera and have enhanced the range of the highly successful double flowered Gerbera Sundayz and added more bicolour varieties like Eyecatcher Twilight to the Floriline range.
Gerberas are a ‘top 5’ line on the Dutch auctions with many being exported to the UK, the range of colours, shapes & sizes now on offer coupled with demand from UK supermarkets for UK grown product looks likely to be a ‘win win’ situation for grower & retailer.
Verwer Dahlias has been responsible for some of the best recent introductions Gallery, Happy Singles, Melody, Karma & now Happy Days. Specialising only in Dahlias working to rigorous criteria in the breeding process has resulted in Verwer becoming the market leader in pot Dahlias.
The Happy Singles series with its dark burgundy foliage, uniformity & strong contrasting flower colours give a new twist on the old classics like Bishop of Llandaff. While Happy Days maintains all those key features on a smaller compact plant – unique in its class!
