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.
If you want a striking tree that will quickly give structure and colour to your garden then the 'Purple Tower' is the perfect choice. With its glossy, ovate-triangular leaves and its dangling spring catkins, this tree offers varying interest. The leathery leaves are dark purple-green in colour and are held on attractive purple-red stems. Come autumn the foliage turns to golden orange and crisp purple colours, which adds further interest before the leaves fall.
This fast-growing tree is highly recommended for architectural planting, or as a windbreak, as it will soon become a strong and sturdy specimen; you can however prune it annually to keep it smaller. The 'Purple Tower' has a broadly columnar habit and you should ensure you don't plant it too close to buildings as it will eventually grow to have strong roots. This Cottonwood will thrive in any soil but do ensure that it is free-draining as it does not tolerate waterlogged sites.
You can plant this Populus alongside another fast-growing, handsome specimen: we would recommend the Populus alba as the silvery leaves of the alba look great against the violaceous tones of the 'Purple tower'.
