Best place to buy young trees (oaks)

[Chap]

am after about 500 plus young oak trees to bulk up a wood. Where's the best place to buy them from at a good price?

Young ones 18 inch tall
Thanks

Yet another poster with no location so you may end up with loads of irrelevant replies. We use these folks, who use locally collected seed wherever possible and grow on site, with the exception of hawthorn, which although they collect seed, others grow for them alalowing them to get the volumes they need. good family business

We always transplant the ones that we find growing under mature trees but you'd struggle with finding 500!!!

Have a word with a local tree surgeon he may be able to advise you. We planted 30 a few years ago and he used locally sourced trees reckoned it was better to have local provenance was I think the term he used.

A few years ago , I used to do some work for The Wood Farm Estate ,near Wolverhampton. On the estate stands the Royal Oak in which King Charles hid, (and subsequently gifted the original estate to the family) , who have it to this day. They have lots of seedling Oaks, some from THE Oak, and some of other varieties of Oak, in their private tree nursery.I don't know if they generally sell them nowadays, but they are a very nice family to deal with. It would be quite something to have that kind of provenance behind your trees! Pm me for the address if you like?

This is the place I have used for all my hedging plants and have been very pleased with the results, so I have been going back on a regular basis. They are based near Bishops Castle and courier them over. http://www.farmforestry.co.uk/tree-hedging-plants

Having been in the trade a few years ago, I can tell you it is far more important to have a good source for Oaks than most trees as they are difficult to transplant if larger than very small whips.
I would go and collect this number to ensure maximum survival also be very careful handling and not allowing the roots to dry out at all.
Be also aware that they must be very tasty as everyone will be nipped off if they are not protected in guards
