Copse starter pack
Grow your own piece of paradise with this copse starter pack. It contains everything you need to plant a mini forest school classroom or create a small yet peaceful oasis for birds.
Each pack contains 30 trees, including Silver birch, Rowan and Wild cherry.
Silver birch is a striking medium-sized tree with pale bark and golden catkins which flower from April to May. It provides food and habitat for over 300 insect species.
Rowan produces creamy-white clusters of flowers which turn to bright red berries during autumn.
Wild cherry is covered in stunning clusters of white flowers during the spring, which turn to vibrant cherries later in the year. These cherries provide a vital source of food for birds and mammals, including song thrush, blackbird, badger and dormouse.

Wild cherry: 18-25m, Rowan: 8-15m and Silver birch: 15-20m.
Purchase size and growth:
These trees are cell-grown saplings, ranging from approximately 15cm-60cm in height. Cell grown trees can be planted all year round in most situations as long as they are given the correct care. Please be aware that depending upon the time of year you receive your sapling (particularly early spring) it may not look very perky upon arrival, please do not worry once it has been planted it should pick up quickly.
UK and Ireland Sourced and Grown (UKISG):
Every sapling that we provide is UK and Ireland sourced and grown to minimise the risk of importing and spreading tree pests and diseases. Seeds are collected and stored in the UK and Ireland, and they are all coded and batched so that we can track each individual tree.
More information about the trees in this mix is available here.
The images in this product listing show the saplings bundled and wrapped. This plastic wrap is made from LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and is 100% recyclable, we encourage users to recycle them when you are ready to plant your trees.
