Each kit also contains a single sapling for children to plant. Choose from:

Hazel – encourage garden wildlife with an abundance of crunchy hazelnuts.

Crab apple – enjoy scented blossom in spring and harvest rosy crab apples in autumn.

Rowan – add seasonal colour with dazzling white flowers and vibrant red berries.

Dog rose– provide a feast for nature with nectar-rich pink flowers and juicy rose hips.

English oak–  plant a majestic wildlife magnet to support heaps of invertebrates, birds, mammals and fungi (this tree can grow up to 40m so we would recommend planting in a larger garden).

Estimated full grown height: 

Dog Rose: 15-20m, Hazel: 10m+, Crab apple: 7-9m, Oak: 20-40m and Rowan: 8-15m.

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 your sapling may not look very perky on arrival, particularly if it’s delivered in early spring. However, 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.

Check out our A-Z of British trees to find out more about the species in this kit.

The images in this product listing shows the sapling 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.

Planting information:

As a rough guide, trees are usually planted at around 2m intervals but please take into account the final size of the tree and be aware of buildings, services and other plants nearby to ensure that damage cannot occur from the roots and canopy as the tree grows.

Oct-Feb - This is the best time of year for planting trees and your sapling is dormant, as long as it is kept free from frost and wind as well as being kept moist and in light conditions then it will last a few weeks before planting.

Mar-Sept - Your sapling is growing fast and will need planting as soon as possible. Planting it immediately will ensure it does not dry out, lose nutrients etc.

Please note that you may require tree protection if your saplings will be at risk of damage from mammals such as rabbits or deer. Take a look at our available tree protection options.

On-going care requirements:

Once planted, your tree will need some care and attention for a few years; this will mainly be weeding around the base to reduce the competition for nutrients and ensuring your tree has enough water. For more information about caring for your trees, click here.
