The 'Big Freeze' is over.. for a while!
We would to send a big thank you to all of our customers for being so understanding during the sub-zero temperatures. The soil in our fields had been completely frozen for the last couple of weeks, in places almost 15cm deep. This made it impossible for us dig up the trees and even harder for you to plant. This time weathermen got it right and we were able to start lifting our bare rooted trees first thing Monday morning and all back dated orders were caught up by the middle of last week.
Our bare rooted trees are hand lifted from our nursery on the day or day before despatch. There will be no soil around the roots but they are covered with a bag to prevent them drying out. If you are unable to plant the trees immediately there is no need to panic. The trees are completely dormant this time of year, which means as long as the roots are kept out of the frost and well wrapped up no harm will come to them, although the sooner you can get them planted in the ground the better.
We pride ourselves on producing top quality, hardy trees and shrubs. Nothing is forced on in glass houses so you can be sure your purchase will thrive in your garden, but just to make sure every one of our plants has a full profile giving all the essential details you need to make sure it is right for your chosen spot, including: Common Name, Latin Name, Soil, Position, Flowering period/colour, Hardiness, Eventual height/spread, Special features.

Recent TestimonialsTake a look at some of the lovely emails and letters we have received from our happy customers, who have bought trees and shrubs from us in the past. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to drop us a line.
Trees are breathtaking in their diversity, varying not only in height, shape and form but also in ornamental qualities, with a wonderful range of foliage (such as Acers trees and Robinia trees), flowers (such as Flowering cherry trees and Laburnum trees), fruits (like Crab apple trees and Sorbus trees), and even bark (like Birch trees) to suit any garden setting. The passing of the seasons provides ever-changing interest, as deciduous trees come into bright new leaf, flower, fruit and finally shed their colourful foliage. Evergreens, however, will keep up their show throughout the year. Even a single tree can add height and structural interest to a garden, however small. Most trees, once established will need little or no maintenance. You're sure to find the perfect tree for your garden at Mail Order Trees.
Growing your own fruit ranks highly in the satisfaction stakes- and most, with attractive blossom in spring and ripening fruits at harvest, are as ornamental as they are useful. With talk of 'organic produce' and the miles food has to travel before it reaches you, there is no better way of guaranteeing the origin of your fruit than growing it in your own back garden. Another great way of helping to reduce your carbon footprint! We stock a great range of fruit trees to buy online 12 months a year.
Deciduous and evergreen shrubs are essential in all gardens to provide a permanent framework. They range from low-growing ground-cover plants to tall, almost tree-like plants, although most are considerably smaller in stature. The choice available is huge and, since they all occur in all manner of situations throughout the world, there are shrubs to suit all aspects and all soil types. They can offer architectural forms, often fragrant flowers, decorative fruits and a great diversity of foliage in terms of shape, size and colour.
