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.
Euphorbia myrsinites, commonly known as Myrtle Spurge or Donkey Tail Spurge, is an attractive, low-growing perennial that is highly valued for its unique, trailing habit and striking blue-green foliage. This succulent-like plant features fleshy, spirally arranged leaves that form dense, trailing stems, creating a mat-like effect that is particularly effective for ground cover, rock gardens, or spilling over the edges of containers and walls. In spring, Myrtle Spurge produces bright yellow-green, cup-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully with the bluish foliage, adding a pop of colour to the garden.
Euphorbia myrsinites typically grows to a height of 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) with a spread of 30-60 cm (12-24 inches). It thrives in well-drained, sandy, or gravelly soils and prefers a position in full sun, although it can tolerate light shade. This plant is hardy in the UK to RHS hardiness rating H5, meaning it can survive winter temperatures down to around -15°C (5°F). It is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for dry, sunny locations such as rock gardens, xeriscapes, or Mediterranean-style gardens.
Myrtle Spurge is relatively low-maintenance, requiring little care beyond occasional trimming to keep it tidy and encourage new growth. However, it is important to handle this plant with care, as the milky sap can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Wearing gloves when handling or pruning is recommended. Additionally, Euphorbia myrsinites is deer-resistant and not typically troubled by pests or diseases, adding to its appeal as a durable and resilient garden plant.
Whether used as ground cover, in a rockery, or as an accent plant in a container, Euphorbia myrsinites brings texture, colour, and a touch of the unusual to the garden. Its evergreen nature and striking form provide year-round interest, making it a valuable addition to a variety of garden settings.
