I just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing tree and service. I have not see a freshly cut tree like this since I was a child and it was quite emotional when I saw its lovely bright green needles. I will certainly be ordering a tree from you every year from now on and some plants in between in the spring. Thank you so much once again and and may I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. BarryBarry
Large Garden Trees for Sale
Large Tree Varieties in (Mostly) Standard Sizes
Most standard trees are only delivered bareroot, during the winter planting season (Nov-March).
These trees are delivered in the same size ranges as all our other trees, and (given enough time) will grow into the biggest trees around. Quite a few of these trees can not be delivered in standard sizes, only as smaller saplings, so for convenience we have listed them all below.
Standard trees are measured by their girth 1 metre above the ground, and young saplings are measured by height. Therefore, a 6/8cm tree is much bigger than an 60/80cm sapling tree. If a tree is available in both sizes, it will be noted in the product descriptions.
All our large trees are covered by our no-quibble Guarantee, which means you can order with complete confidence. Best advice & friendly support throughout.
