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.
Cupressocyparis x leylandii 'Gold Rider', commonly known as the Gold Leylandii, is a striking evergreen conifer renowned for its vibrant golden foliage and fast-growing nature. This cultivar features dense, bright yellow to golden-green needles that retain their color throughout the year, providing a lively splash of colour in the garden. 'Gold Rider' typically grows to a height of 3-5 meters (10-16 feet) within the first 10 years, and can eventually reach up to 15 meters (50 feet) if left untrimmed, with a spread of 2-3 meters (6-10 feet), making it an excellent choice for hedging, screens, or as a specimen plant.
Originating from a hybrid between Cupressus macrocarpa and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, Cupressocyparis x leylandii 'Gold Rider' is well-suited to the UK’s climate. It thrives in a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained, and prefers a sunny position to achieve the best foliage coloration, though it can tolerate partial shade. Hardy in H6, 'Gold Rider' can withstand the UK's cold winters and adverse weather conditions. This cultivar requires regular pruning to maintain its shape and size, especially if used as a hedge. Its fast growth rate and dense foliage make it an effective windbreak and privacy screen. Additionally, 'Gold Rider' is generally resistant to pests and diseases, contributing to its reputation as a robust and low-maintenance plant. Whether used for hedging, screening, or as a standout feature in the landscape, Cupressocyparis x leylandii 'Gold Rider' offers year-round beauty and practicality for any garden setting.
