Irish Oak tree

This beautifully wrapped Irish Oak tree has an abundance of lush, green leaves in spring and summer, this dense foliage is wonderful for our garden birds to safely make their nests. In spring pale yellow flowers hang in catkins and are wonderful for bees and butterflies. The small acorns, which ripen in late summer, are delicious when lightly roasted. The Oak tree will happily thrive in any garden and can tolerate temperatures as low as -15C.

This deciduous tree naturally sheds its leaves every autumn and will remain in its dormant phase all winter. Fresh, new leaves will grow in spring and it’s well worth the wait. Read more about deciduous trees here. 

When you place your order a beautiful Oak tree, (total height 50cm+ or 30cm+) botanical name: Quercus petraea, will be freshly selected by our devoted gardeners here, before being wrapped in organza and placed in a luxury parcel. 

This Oak tree may reach a height of 2 metres in 10 years, if allowed to grow naturally.

Your Irish Oak tree is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just natural daylight and water. We have added special nutrients to your tree’s compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will release into the soil for several months to ensure your tree continues to flourish.

In a few weeks, plant your tree, still in its organic pot so the roots are not disturbed, in a large outdoor flower pot (one with holes for drainage) or plant in a sunny spot in the garden.
