Delivery Information
Our trees, plants and gifts are sent by both Royal Mail First
Class Post and via a courier network depending upon the quantity of
plants ordered. During the order process you can select your
preferred delivery date. This is not a guaranteed date of
delivery. Our Tree Gifts can be posted on the day of purchase
if ordered before 11.30am. The larger, non-gift items usually
have a 5 working day lead time before the first delivery date. We
usually despatch larger quantities (approximately 15+ plants) on
Mondays and Wednesdays with a courier working on a next day
delivery basis. Bare this in mind if you have deadlines. Less than
15 plants are usually posted out 1-2 days in advance of your chosen
preferred delivery date.
Please remember these are living products so you need to arrange
delivery to an address where someone will be in to receive them
either from the courier or Royal Mail. If you are not available at
the delivery time, Royal Mail will either leave the item in a
pre-arranged 'safe' place where your parcels are usually kept or
the parcel will be returned to the local Sorting Office and a card
will be left asking you to collect or arrange an alternative
delivery time.
We do not recommend posting items to schools or offices during
holiday periods.
Remember to double check all delivery details are correct before
processing your order as we can not re-send items that have not
been received if the address details were incorrect.
Many thanks!

We have a flat delivery charge of £3.95 per order, no matter
what the quantity, unless you have ordered a Tree Gift, which is
£4.95.
Highlands & Islands and Northern Ireland:
We don't charge any extra unless you order 15+ plants of any 1
species. If you order 15+ of any 1 species, there is a delivery
sur-charge of £7.50 per order on top of the £3.95/£4.95.
If you order less than 15 of any particular plants but your
shopping basket has more than 15 plants in it e.g. 4 x Cherry, 4 x
Crab Apple, 4 x Hazel, 4 x Silver Birch + 4 x Scots Pine, you still
don't get charged the sur-charge. It's a flat £3.95 fee.

Crab Apple, 4 x Hazel, 4 x Silver Birch + 4 x Scots Pine, you still

Unfortuantely due to previous bad experience we do not
deliver to Ireland and Europe. If you would like to take
trees to Europe, we suggest you order them to a UK address and
collect them from there or ask a friend to post them on.
