Scottish mix

In Scotland, only a tiny fraction of the original native woodland cover remains and so this pack is the perfect way to help plant Scottish native trees in your garden or community. Each pack contains four trees: one rowan, one silver birch, one downy birch and one juniper.

Rowan has silvery-brown bark and ferm-like leaves which turn a lovely bunt red in autumn. In spring you will find clusters of creamy-white flowers followed by striking orange-red berries in autumn. 

Silver birch is one of the oldest native species in Scotland and supports a whole host of insects.

Downy birch has drooping branches and diamond shaped leaves. In the spring it produces new fury shoots. 

Juniper is one of only three conifer species native to the UK, its berries are used in the flavouring of gin and provides dense cover for small nesting birds.

Estimate full grown height: 

Silver birch: 15-20m, Rowan: 8-15m, Downy birch: 30m, Juniper: Up to 10m

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.

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.
