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.
Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn' belongs to the Adoxaceae family, and was bred as a cross between V. farreri and V. grandiflorum at Bodnant Garden, Tal-y-Cafn, in north Wales. It is ideal for low maintenance gardens, and is best sited in flower beds and herbaceous borders. It requires only very occassional pruning to keep its shape tidy, and is generally maintenance-free. If required, the plant tolerates hard restorative pruning, and so is ideal for a garden that receives only occassional maintenance.
Viburnam x bodnantense 'Dawn' is best grown in medium soils that are neither dry or wet. It flowers best in full sun, and in a protected area, as the blooms can be lost to an early frost. The plant is very flexible as to soil pH, growing happily in acid, alkaline and neutral soils.
This shrub is at its most valuable in spring, when visual effect is of a large structure of upright branches, free of leaves, and covered in small clouds of pink/white blossom. This creates an attractive image when viewed at a distance from a house. The blooms are valued for their attractive scent and fine trumpet shape when viewed close-to.
The leaves are also striking in summer, dark green with a slightly purple tint and a strong veined shape. The leaves take on an attractive autumn colour.
