Plants & saplings (bulk) — bulk supply in Lahore

New houses, housing societies, schools, factories and commercial projects in Lahore often need plants in quantity: trees along roads, hedges along boundaries, shrubs in beds and seasonal flowers for colour. Buying in bulk from a nursery saves money, but only if the plants arrive healthy, are the species you ordered and get planted before they dry out.

Types and specifications

Key specifications to state in your order: species (common and botanical name if possible), pot or bag size, plant height, and quantity. Ask the nursery which species suit Lahore's summer heat and your site's sun and water.

What each is used for

• Societies and roads: avenue trees and hedges in large numbers.
• Homes: a mix of shrubs, a few trees, climbers and seasonal flowers.
• Schools and offices: shade trees, hedges and low-maintenance beds.
• Factories: boundary trees and hedges for screening and shade.

Quality checks on delivery

1. Count against the order, by species and size.
2. Check identity. Ask the nursery to label species, especially for trees.
3. Roots. Root ball should be moist and hold together; roots circling heavily or growing out of the bottom mean the plant has been in the pot too long.
4. Stem and bark. No cracks, peeling or soft spots; a straight leader for trees.
5. Leaves. No widespread yellowing, spots, holes or sticky residue.
6. Pests. Check under leaves and on stems for insects or webs.
7. Height and pot size match the order.
8. Damage. Note broken or wilted plants on the delivery receipt before signing.

How much you need

• Hedges: measure the boundary length and ask the nursery for the spacing for your chosen species; divide length by spacing.
• Trees: depends on the species' mature spread; ask the nursery or a landscape designer for spacing.
• Beds: ask for the number per square foot for your plant and pot size.
• Order a small number extra to replace early losses.

Bulk-buying tips

• Visit the nursery and tag or photograph the batch you are buying.
• Delivery timing. Have pits dug and water ready before the plants arrive.
• Unloading. Lift by the pot or bag, not the stem.
• Holding on site. Keep in shade and water daily until planted.
• Invoices. Species, size and quantity per line.
• Payment staging. Deposit on order, balance after delivery check.
• Replacement terms. Agree in writing what happens if plants die within an early period after planting.
• Season. Ask the nursery for the best planting window for each species; avoid peak summer heat.
