can Little Big Tree Company meet your product needs, but you get top and expert advice from the people who are supplying you the plants.
“Canterbury is blessed with definitive seasons, so it is possible to select plants for an all-round interest in the garden,” Kate says.
This includes, but is certainly not limited to advice on placement, how best to prepare the planting area, which mixes, compost and fertilisers to use, a wide range of which are also stocked by the company, and what a plant may need long term in terms of maintenance, ensuring the plant you have invested in will continue to thrive once you get it home.
And, once your plans are in order, if you’re not feeling up to doing the hard work yourself, the company also has a placing and planting service which includes tree staking.
If the project seems mind boggling and you don’t know where to start, the Little Big Tree Company can provide an onsite planting service. Little Big Tree Company’s garden consultant, Kate Duthie will visit your home, develop a plan in consultation with your wants, needs and budget, and even provide a sketch if necessary – all for a very reasonable price.
Installation manager Warwick Naish and his team offer a fast and efficient service utilising a knowledge based established over more than 20 years of experience. CT

The PB40 grade trees are 1.5 - 2.5 metres tall. They are a great option for the home gardener, they are easy to transport and plant and still give great visual pleasure.
Easy care sections with a move back to flowers are the key trends the company is seeing come through. The company specialises in larger lifestyle block plantings and knows how to make these sections more easy-care, and can also work with everything from a small townhouse garden to a 20 acre country block.
Pumping & trough equipment
With the move towards smaller urban sections, smaller varieties of trees are increasingly sought after. “We’re doing a lot of smaller varieties of maples of every shape, dog woods, magnolias and flowery cherries etc.
Water treatment and filtration systems
“There’s also a large selection of ever-greens and deciduous from small to large.” It’s all about quality at Little Big Tree Company. Not only does a lot of time and effort go into sourcing the right trees, many not found elsewhere, but once sourced, every plant receives the utmost care and attention, being nurtured like a newborn. “We put a significant amount of time and effort into training, holding and planting every individual tree,” Mark says.
