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.
Origin and Habitat: The parent species, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, particularly in Oregon and Northern California. The 'Ellwood's Empire' cultivar is a garden variety developed for ornamental use.
Size and Shape: 'Ellwood's Empire' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer that typically reaches a height of about 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) with a width of around 0.5-1 meter (1.5-3 feet). It has a dense, columnar or pyramidal shape, making it ideal for small gardens, borders, or as a container plant.
Foliage: The foliage is soft, feathery, and blue-green, which adds year-round color and texture to the landscape. The leaves are scale-like and tightly packed on the stems.
Soil: It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in fertile, moist soil.
Light: This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help prevent foliage from scorching.
Water: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. However, it does not tolerate waterlogged soils well.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required to maintain its shape. Any pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
Hardiness: 'Ellwood's Empire' is hardy in USDA zones 5-8, which means it can tolerate temperatures down to about -20°C (-4°F). It is relatively resistant to common pests and diseases but should be monitored for root rot if planted in poorly drained soils.
Uses: It is often used as an accent plant in gardens, for hedging, in rock gardens, or as a specimen plant. Its compact size and attractive foliage make it a popular choice for small spaces and container planting
