Subsidised tree scheme

We've listed the species by tree bundle below. As much as possible, we'll equally divide the species for each bundle.

The species included in the packs are a guide only. We may need to substitute some species depending on stock availability. These substitutions are non-negotiable, but we'll make sure any substitute species are suitable for your pack.

You can select a mixture of packs or just one type.

Except for our orchard packs and our single tree option, the tree protection (guards and canes) is not included as standard but you can buy these at the same time you buy your tree packs. Tree protection can help your trees survive. Read about looking after your trees for more planting guidance and information on the guards.

The trees (apart from orchard packs) will be:

• Bare root - there won't be any soil around the roots
• 40-60cm in height
• Probably without any leaves (if deciduous)

For orchard packs:

• Trees will be one year-old 'maiden' trees about 60cm-90cm tall (2-3ft)
• Bare root - there won't be any soil around the roots
• Probably without any leaves

We explain when to plant your trees after you've collected your pack in the 'collecting your trees' section of this guidance.
