  •        an activity booklet full of puzzles, crafts, facts and a planting certificate
  •        a simple step-by-step planting guide and advice to help your tree thrive
  •        a gift box that kids can turn into a tree tag, measuring tool and badges.

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

Spacing
Plant trees roughly 2m apart. Consider the final size of the tree, nearby buildings, services and other plants to avoid future damage to the roots and canopy as the tree grows.

Tree protection
If your sapling could be at risk from animals like rabbits or deer, consider protecting them. Take a look at our tree protection options.

Best time to plant
October-February (dormant season) - ideal planting time.
Keep your sapling moist, in light conditions and free from frost and wind. In these conditions, it can last a few weeks before planting.

Ongoing care
Weed around the base to reduce competition for nutrients.
Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
For detailed guidance, take a look at our tree care instructions.
