Delivery

Our trees are available bare rooted during the winter planting season, from November-March.

Outside of this season we take pre-orders to be delivered the following Winter.

The time between lifting the tree and dispatch is kept to minimum in order to keep the trees as fresh as possible.

Delivery is via courier, during the winter planting season and we use a next day. delivery service. We will notify you of a delivery date at least one week before. We will aim to meet your delivery requirements as much as possible, and will keep in contact, so you know when to expect your trees.

If you’re local to us, trees can be collected from the nursery by prior arrangement.

If you’re looking to place a large order as a commercial or other organisation, get in touch as delivery prices may vary.

 

Receiving Trees

Our trees are grown directly in the soil, not in containers. This is known as ‘bare root trees and are packaged for delivery/ collection in such a way as to keep their roots moist and fresh.

Upon receiving the trees, they can be kept in their packaging for 3-4 days in a cool but frost free environment.

If they need to be kept longer before being planted out they need to be ‘heeled in’.

Dig a hole into well drained soil, slightly larger than the root ball. Place the roots in the hole and ensure they are well covered with soil and gently firm down.

It is essential that the roots don’t dry out at all.

Trees can be kept like this throughout the dormant season but they must be planted in their final position before the end of the dormant season.
