Buy Trees Online

Ordering a tree online sounds risky until you understand how it actually works: nursery grown stock, graded to consistent sizes, packed to protect the rootball and freighted to your door in days. This page is the full tree range in one place, so you can compare species, sizes and prices without driving between nurseries on a Saturday.

The main thing to understand when buying trees online is the relationship between pot size, plant size and value. A 200mm pot typically holds a tree 60cm to 1.2 metres tall that establishes quickly and costs the least to freight. A 300mm pot or 45L bag lands a tree between 1.2 and 2 metres for immediate presence, and larger bags deliver genuinely advanced specimens where the wait matters more than the budget. Interestingly, smaller trees often catch up to larger ones within three to four years because they establish with less transplant stress, so bigger is not automatically better unless you need instant screening or shade.

• Unpack your tree the day it arrives, water it well and let it rest in light shade for a day or two
• Plant into a hole twice the width of the rootball but no deeper than the rootball itself
• Do not order for planting into frozen or waterlogged ground; time delivery for good planting weather
• Keep the nursery stake short term only, replacing it with two loose ties if your site is windy

How delivery works, what it costs and which sizes ship to your postcode are all explained on our delivery page. If you are shopping for a compact block, the small trees for urban gardens collection filters the range to varieties under about 5 metres, and the broader trees page groups everything by purpose.
