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.
Prunus Nigra, also known as Black Leaved Plum, is an outstanding flowering tree. It’s well known for its dark, deep purple foliage and beautiful springtime blossom.
Prunus Nigra serves as perfect addition to any garden space, with its stunning flowers, ornamental form and beautiful leaves offering year-round interest.
In March, before the leaves appear, the bare branches become wreathed with bowl-shaped pink flowers which cover the tree in a delightful pink cloud. Prunus Nigra’s flowers are popular with all sorts of pollinators, making it a wild-life friendly addition to your space.
The idyllic flowers are later followed by dark purple leaves which really stand out amongst green trees. The rich purple leaves are complimented by the deep purple stems which look even more appealing during winter when the leaves have fallen. Black Leaved Plum really is one of those specimens that delivers in every season!
Hardy and adaptable, Prunus Nigra thrives when positioned in full sun and in well-drained soil, making it an easy variety to grow in many different garden settings.
Black Leaved Plum is a large tree, reaching a height and spread of around 8-12 metres. This means that it will work well in medium or large garden spaces.
You can plant Prunus Nigra in a mixed border, as part of a garden screen, or simply on its own as a stand-alone piece and it will be sure to impress. The combination of stunning spring flowers and deep purple leaves make it a fantastic addition for gardeners looking to add texture and contrast to their space.
