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 holly, one silver birch, one rowan and one juniper.
Holly is a small, distinctive, easy to grow tree that suits any sized garden. It has tough, glossy, dark green, spiny leaves
Silver birch is one of the oldest native species in Scotland and supports a whole host of insects.
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.
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, Holly: 15m, 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.
