Product Specifications
- Height on Arrival: 120-150cm inc. roots
- Eventual Height: 5m
- Supplied As: Bare Root. Our trees are supplied as “bare roots” meaning that the roots of the trees are established below the ground but not actively growing (dormant) between November and March. As bare roots are stored without any soil or pot, they would easily settle themselves when in contact with soil in your garden. Don't panic if your tree is not showing any sign of growth above the ground come April, as it's still in the dormant phase.
- Age on Arrival: Typically 18 to 36 months old.
