Hazel trees provide food for small mammals such as dormice and squirrels as well as various species of birds.
Silver birch provides food and habitat for more than 300 insect species. Woodpeckers and other hole-nesting birds often nest in the trunk.
Rowan produces bright red berries in the autumn which are a rich source of food for birds, especially the blackbird, mistle thrush, redstart, redwing, song thrush, fieldfare and waxwing.
English oak supports more life than any other UK native tree. It also produces one of the hardest and most durable timbers on the planet.
Hawthorn flowers can be striking white, a gentle pink or sometimes red and develop into vibrant oval berries. These fruits provide food for many small birds and insects.
Blackthorn foliage is a great food source for caterpillars and birds often nest among the dense thickets. In autumn, the tree produces sloes which act as a food source for the birds.
Estimate full grown height:
Blackthorn: 6-7m, Silver birch: 15-20m, Hazel: 10m+, Hawthorn:15m, Rowan 8-15m and English oak: 20-40m.
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.
