    Tr = Bare Root Transplant

    All prices include VAT at 20%.

Graceful, native, deciduous tree of upright habit but with fountain-like drooping branchlets and attractive 6cm (2ins) long, yellow pendulous, male catkins, and smaller female catkins in winter and spring. Produces masses of tiny seeds which provide good food for birds. The bark is orange-red on young stems, soon changing to silver with distinctive black ‘arrows’. On mature trees the trunk becomes rough at the base. The broadly ovate, sharply pointed, mid-green, coarsely double-toothed leaves, turn yellow in autumn before falling. Very hardy.

TREE 7.6m x 3m (25ft x 10ft) in 20 years, ultimate height 15m (50ft).

Bare-Root Plants (Transplants)

Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.

Transplanted plants have been lifted from the ground and replanted. This encourages a better fibrous root system and makes the plant stronger and bushier.

Availability

Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.
