Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to plant a magnolia tree in the UK?
The best time to plant magnolia trees is in autumn or early spring when the soil is moist and not too cold. This allows the roots to establish before the summer heat or winter frost.
Do magnolia trees grow well in planters?
Yes, many compact magnolia varieties grow beautifully in planters, making them perfect for patios, balconies, or smaller gardens. Be sure to choose a large container with good drainage and use a quality compost.
How are your ornamental trees packaged and shipped to arrive safely?
Our trees are packaged by the nursery in bespoke boxes with airholes to ensure they do not suffocate on the way to your door. In addition, we use specialist couriers that ship quickly, we aim for no more than 24 hours from the ground to your doorstep.
Do you offer discounts for bulk orders or tradespeople on trees?
No, plants and trees are excluded from the discounts available on our trade portal. However, if you are a trade, you can still purchase via the trade portal to save on shipping and receive a VAT invoice.
Are your ornamental trees all from the UK?
Yes, it'd be a challenge to delivery nursery fresh trees otherwise! All our trees are sent from in our UK nursery located in the South Downs. Not all our trees start life in the UK but those imported such as Japanese Maple are sent to our UK nursery to acclimatise to the British weather before being sent on to you. This ensures the plant is properly settled into the climate.
How do I Choose the Right Size Planter For My Cherry Tree?
Choosing the right planter size is important for plant health. Generally, you’ll want a planter that’s 1–2 inches larger in diameter than your plant’s root ball for smaller plants, and 2–4 inches larger for larger plants. This provides enough room for growth without too much excess soil.
How will my tree arrive?
All our plants are lovingly packaged by our partner nursery and are sent with a specialist courier to ensure freshness. Please note that for bare root trees the plant will not have much greenery, as they are dug out of the earth in autumn and winter, but rest assured that if you put it in the planter with a bit of love and care it will spring to life in no time. Check the product pages for more detail on how your specific plant will look upon arrival.
