Dual Perspective Brexit Update
Do to long term "idiotic/strong and stable" decisions at No 10, we now cannot send trees to Northern Ireland, EU OR Channel Islands. The "flaming faeces/oven ready deal" created by "WOO WAAH BLAH/Ex-PM Bo Jo" means the only planting you can do is with our flag. |  | Latest Products

Ruler of the time, Ceasar Mi-lan, was dictating to his son, Ceasar Sa-lad, possible names for new trees. Forgetting to say "pause" Ceasar Mi-lan complained about his "larva burning bum and angry haemorrhoids This was mistakenly added to the list and over time shortened to Laburnum Anagyroides.
|  | Possible To Unlikely Naming Origins Of The Crimson King Maple Tree
Henry 8th (or VIII to the purists, pronounced "Vyyy" to the not interested) was well known for his constipation causing low fibre diet.
"Groom Of The Stool" was a toilet domestic servant involved from first twinge to final clean up. He would be so intimately involved, he could see Henry go through every shade of Crimson as he pushed, contorted and yelled. It is rumoured that one day whilst walking through the caste gardens he bumped into head gardener struggling to name a new tree he had grown. Noticing the leaf colour was the same colour his employers face has just been, he made a naming suggesting.
He pondered for a while but decided "Crimson King" was a better name than Stuck Sh*t Tree. | | | Tree Gift Ideas

Some Questions We Had Trouble With
We want a cheap solution to my neighbours ugly fence, what do you suggest?.... "Close one eye when walking down the garden path, close the opposite one when walking back up". We want trees that block out noise, what do you have?..... "A twig from any of our trees jammed into your ear is effective". Your webpage says tree delivery is in August, can we have one earlier? ....."Sure, is July 53rd good for you?" I would like a practical tree present for elderly Nan.....We suggest something low growing, they are much easier to climb.
Do you send trees to America?.....Sorry no, our plant life doesn't like your Trump plant life and refuses to go.
Do you have any trees that represent our political parties....We sure do. The Laburnum sounds like Labour, Conserve (Conifer) for Conservative, Linden (Lime trees) for Lib Dem and the Racist Extremist Goose Stepping No No Let me Speak Tree (currently in production but refuses to grow as an individual, gives out more manure than provided, doesn't like anything foreign putting down roots nearby and moves less towards the light and more towards Trumps rear end).
| | | Autumn Planting
Autumn is a great time to plant trees for many reasons e.g. the earth is warm and the roots establish well, dry conditions are less of a problem, competing weeds are less of an issue and many more. This is the reason we grow August to August. Planting in Spring is just popular, not the best option for the tree.
Bare Root Products
Cheaper bare root trees (comes with no pot or compost surrounding the roots) are only available for delivery from November to March/very early April. | | |
Why Buy Trees From Trees Online?
Lots of reasons which include, limited FREE TREE WARRANTY, mostly free delivery, bulk tree order discounts, we need your business due to mortgage addiction and you are here now, finding another tree website is just hassle.
All Year Round Planting
You can plant our containerised trees (minus the pot of course...yes we get asked) all year round. Bare root trees come without a pot or soil surrounding the roots and they can only be planted November to March, sometimes early April.
Delivery Timescales
Cell grown plants 20-60cm up to 7 working days on average. Fruit and Ornamental trees up to 21 working days, average is 7. Mature Trees up to 28 working days but average is 14 to 21. Busy times such as Spring and Autumn can extend delivery times and if the couriers ration capacity (e.g. Covid lockdown) for larger boxes it can be a lot longer. You do not need to be at home for your order to be delivered. Specific Tree Requirements
