Here at Mail Order Trees, getting your trees and plants to you quickly and in perfect condition is our top priority. A great feature of our specially designed cardboard boxes is that they are 100% recyclable, which will help to reduce your carbon footprint even further.
We have a standard flat rate charge of £9.95 per consignment (including VAT) to England and Wales so the more you buy, the more you save! Prices for Scotland, Grampian, the Highands can be calculated in the checkout area. Unfortunately we are unable to ship to any other locations aside from these. This means we do not ship to Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland/Ireland and any Scottish Islands.
Our usual delivery time is up to 7-10 working days. We will, as ever, aim to stick to our usual timescale but please be aware that this may not always be possible. Please take the time to fill out the special instructions box in the checkout area with the details of a neighbour or safe place that your trees can be left. Every effort will be made to make deliveries in this time or on a date requested by you.
Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for delayed deliveries due to factors beyond our control such as Public Holidays or adverse weather conditions which make it impossible to lift bare-rooted trees. In cases such as these, you will be notified.
We can only deliver to physical addresses and not to PO boxes. A complete address including correct postcode must be provided. Incorrect postcodes cause more delays than omitting the postcode altogether.
Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for orders not received if an incorrect address is provided. It will also be necessary to give us details of where to place items should you be out when the delivery arrives. Mail-Order-Trees cannot be responsible for items lost if we have followed your instructions. A contact telephone number can also be very useful to our courier.
Hornbeam tree, also known as Carpinus Betulus, is a versatile and attractive native tree that brings year-round interest to any garden. Similar in appearance to beech, hornbeam makes a superb specimen tree.
This hardy tree is well-known for its dense, serrated, oval-shaped leaves which first emerge in spring as a bright, fresh green.
As the seasons roll forward, Hornbeam Tree’s foliage matures into a rich, dark green before turning a stunning golden-yellow in autumn, adding a healthy dose of seasonal sparkle to your outdoor space.
One of the Hornbeam Tree’s greatest attributes is its versatility. Its dense foliage and ability to withstand hard pruning make it an ideal choice for hedging and screening, providing privacy and windbreaks.
In addition to the structural versatility, Carpinus Betulus produces lovely green catkins in late spring, followed by distinctive clusters of winged seeds in the autumn.
Grown as a tree, it has a pyramidal shape that later becomes more rounded.
Although it is deciduous, it retains its coppery dead leaves throughout the winter so it remains an effective screen.
Hornbeam Tree is fully hardy and thrives in a variety of soil types, though it prefers moist, well-drained soils with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Carpinus Betulus is tolerant of both full sun and partial shade, making it suitable basically any garden. Over 20 years, Hornbeam Tree will grow to around 6 metres in height with a spread of about 5 metres. This makes Carpinus Betulus a perfect addition to gardens, along with parks or wooded areas.
Whether planted as a stunning standalone piece or used in hedging for its dense, well-behaved growth habit, Carpinus betulus is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add structure, privacy, and interest to their garden.
