Mature Trees For Sale Near Me

What Size Mature Tree Are You Looking For?

When most people talk about buying a mature tree, they are thinking of the large tree sizes that we sell, known as standard trees.

These trees are measured by their girth in centimetres at 1.2m above ground level, and we sell two sizes:

• Light Standard Tree: 6/8cm girth
• Medium Standard: 8/10cm girth

That look like this immediately after planting

The mature trees sizes that we deliver are easy to stake, and establish reliably. Bigger trees require more staking, and attentive care to prevent them getting stressed.

As a general rule, the bigger a tree is when you transplant it, the more it gets stressed and risks failure. To reduce that transplant stress, bigger trees are often transplanted with a heavy rootball or large pot.

We do not sell big trees with rootballs, apart from large Yew hedge plants.
We specialise in bareroot trees, delivered in Winter. Our range of potted trees are all the same sizes as the bareroot range, just available year round.

To buy the biggest mature trees, delivered with a heavy rootball or large pot, we direct you to these reputable companies (our lawyer insists "we have no business relationship with, or responsibility for, the parties named below", she's a stickler for stuff like that):

• Wykeham Mature Plants.
• Architectural Plants

I'm Looking for Mature Trees Near Me for Collection

If you have never collected a mature tree from a garden centre or nursery near you before, it's quite a job to transport it safely home without scraping the bark or smushing the branches.
The value of delivery is that it saves you time, and if the tree does get damaged by our courier, we can fix that for you.

When collecting a mature tree yourself, remember to put the rootball in first, pointing in the direction of travel. That way, if you have to slam on the brakes, the rootball can't shift forward and crush the branches. 

Here at Ashridge, based in Castle Cary, Somerset, we have collections on Friday only, for orders already placed & paid for online.
