Important to note

  • Our Trees

    • Are between 1.2 and 1.5m long.
    • Trees over 1.5m long will be pruned to a bud-point to fit into the packaging.
    • We grow our Trees in soil, not pots.
    • We lift trees during the dormant season, Nov-March.
    • Trees are despatched bareroot soaked & protected in robust packaging

  • benefits of trees grown in Soil

    • The root systems develop well, faster and better than they would if grown in pots.
    • Trees are more resilient, hardy and less prone to disease.
    • Trees grown this way, can only be lifted and despatched during the dormancy season, November-March.
    • The trees would die if we did this any other time.

  • When to order

    • You can order trees on our website August-March, (pre-order the rest of the time) and you will receive them during dormant season, November-March. 
    • We send out in batches, in order of priority of when purchases were made & recommend you order as early as possible -
    • to ensure you get the varieties you want,
    • the earlier your order the trees the sooner you'll receive them & the earlier you can get them in the ground,
    • the sooner they are planted, the more time roots have to establish before the trees come into leaf in March.
