Southern Woods Nursery

About Southern Woods Nursery

Growing quality plants for over a generation. Located just south of Christchurch, Southern Woods was established in 1987 as a specialist producer of tree seedlings for fuelwood production and shelterbelts. In 1995, the late Murray Mannall moved from production to General Manager, and in 1997, he and his wife Susy purchased the business. The 2000s saw a boom in native revegetation plantings and a corresponding shift in the product mix. Over the last decade, growth in the Selwyn region has seen Southern Woods further branching out into retail and online sales. The nursery produces millions of trees per year of 500 species – varieties for shelter, forestry, tree crops, native revegetation, fuelwood, fodder, hedging and specimen trees. The Christchurch Southern Motorway development has given the business a one-off opportunity to expand operations further and develop a new footprint for the nursery here in Canterbury. Our ever-expanding 7.5ha site has a purpose-built plant centre and extensive display gardens for staff and customers. Southern Woods is committed to enhancing our customers' environments and improving the productivity of their land through tree planting. To this end, we provide expert advice and ongoing support, coupled with high-quality trees and tree planting products. Our vision is to inspire generations to regenerate New Zealand through innovation, education, and propagation. We thrive on the success of our customer’s plantings.
