Greenhill Nursery

Just off the Huon Highway, this family-run operation has built its name on scale — advanced trees and shrubs grown from modest 75mm tubes right through to substantial 200-litre specimens ready to make an instant impact in a new garden. It's a business built around getting the plant right the first time: staff steer customers toward stock suited to their site rather than whatever looks good at the gate, a quietly useful service in a state where frost, wind and soil can make or break a planting. The range runs wide — deciduous and evergreen trees, flowering varieties, hedging plants for screening, fruit trees and berries, citrus, and a selection of native species — with seasonal bare-root ornamental and fruit tree arrivals timed for winter planting, a nod to old-fashioned, weather-led nursery practice rather than year-round convenience stock. Pittosporum hedging under their own Screenmaster line suggests a nursery that's thought hard about the practical business of privacy and shelter in exposed gardens. Open every day of the week, it's the kind of place suited to a proper visit rather than a quick dash — time to walk the rows, compare pot sizes, and talk through what will actually survive on your own patch of Tasmania, not just what's on special this week.
