Wild wood tree pack
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to current growing conditions, the Hawthorn in this pack is smaller than we would usually like. The Hawthorn saplings are currently around 10cm, although they are healthy and we anticipate they will flourish in the next few months.
This hardy native species mix can tolerate exposed sites and help dry up areas where water collects easily. Trees absorb water and their roots break up soil to help water penetrate the ground more deeply and slow surface water run-off. This pack contains a mixture of downy birch, hawthorn, hazel and grey willow.
- Pack of 105 - 30 x Downy birch, 15 x Hawthorn, 15 x Crab apple, 15 x Hazel an 30x Goat willow
- Pack of 420 - 120 x Downy birch, 60 Hawthorn, 60 x Crab apple, 60 x Hazel and 120 x Goat willow
Downy birch has drooping branches and diamond shaped leaves. In the spring it produces new fury shoots.
Hawthorn can reach up to 15 metres in height and can support over 300 insects.
Hazel trees grow yellow male catkins and small bud-like female flowers. Once pollinated by the wind, these grow into clusters of oval fruits. These fruits are a valuble food source for doormice.
Crab apple can live for up to 100 years and thrives in moist, well-drained soil.
Goat willow grows on damp, open ground, often near lakes and streams. It can live for up to 300 years.
Estimate full grown height:
Downy birch: 30 m, Hawthorn: 7-9m, Hazel: +10m, Crab apple 7-9m, and Goat willow: 6-10 m.
Purchase size and growth:
Due to current growing conditions this species may be shorter than we usually expect and fall outside of approximations given.
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.
