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.
The Corylus avellana is a beloved feature of British gardens, prized for its versatility and charm. In late winter and early spring, it awakens with a display of golden catkins that dangle elegantly from its branches, heralding the start of the gardening year. These catkins provide a cheerful contrast to its bare branches, which later transform into a vibrant green canopy of rounded leaves.
By late summer, the tree yields its signature nuts, encased in crinkled husks and ready for harvesting in early autumn. These delicious nuts are a favourite among gardeners, wildlife, and cooks alike, offering a bounty that can be used in a variety of culinary creations. The tree’s moderate growth rate makes it an excellent choice for gardens of all sizes, where it can serve as a productive centrepiece or a natural screen.
Corylus avellana is happiest in well-drained soils and thrives in sunny or lightly shaded spots. It is a low-maintenance addition that offers year-round interest, from its winter catkins to its autumn harvest. Perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens, it provides food and shelter for birds and small mammals, making it a true asset to any outdoor space.
