Description

A pretty little tree for a small space giving an attractive year round outline. Easy to grow and care for they prefer sun and will grow well in all but very dry soil. The shoots can be cut back fairly hard in early spring once every two or three years. Ideal for a small garden with its height reaching 1.5 -2m x 1.5m / 5ft x 4ft. Do not forget to water well in the summer months if it’s in a pot. A spring weed, mulch and compost while young is also appreciated.

Delivery & Returns

The tree is watered before being carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.

Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos.

  • Do you ever ship to the U.S.?
    I LOVE these dwarf trees and cant find them here.
    Dare I ask, what would the shipping be?

    Ned

  • Many thanks for your enquiry but sadly the US Dept of agriculture forbids the importation of any live plants from here in UK.

    Sorry not to be more helpful.

    Best regards

  • Do you give a 2 year guarantee on the dwarf willow tree

    Kim Newbery

  • Dear Mrs Newbery,

    We generally only do 6 month on all products, however we are fairly flexible up to a year depending on the circumstances.

    Kind Regards

  • Hi there, these trees are beautiful! Should they be planted in ericaceous or normal compost? Many thanks 🙂

    Claire

  • Just normal compost will be fine..And just to tell you,like all Willows,they are very thirsty and important to keep their roots moist

    hope this helps

    Richard Beamish

  • Hi could you let me know when your likely to receive the 50-75 trees in please

    Kath Bingham

  • Hi, is the 10L (£55) tree shaped like the larger one in the picture planted in the ground? I am after a tree like this, but would like it to be a fuller shape (hope this makes sense).
    Thank you,
    Linda

    Linda Bowe

  • The ones we have are younger than the picture on the website and will take a couple of years to come to look like that,

    We can send you a photo of one, if you like?

    Hope this helps

  • Hi Richard, yes if you could send me a picture of the 10L Kilmarnock weeping willow trees you stock that would be great, thank you, Linda

    Linda Bowe

  • Hi We just received ours today and in beautiful condition. The leaves are beautiful and green. Can you let me know how long it takes before the branches spread out and some of the branches are really long and trailing in the ground. Is that ok ?
    Thank you

    Pat

  • I have long wished for a dwarf Kilmarnock Willow, and having moved to a new house with garden space, I was delighted to find Trees Direct who were outstanding in fulfilling my order and in their communication, sending my healthy tree, beautifully protected to my new home, where it looks to be well established, adding just the right amount of height variation ( allowing for growth) Thank you, Trees Direct!

    Alison Smith

  • Thank you for your kind comments!

    Hope the Kilmarnock Willow thrives with you…

    pete

  • Can the 1.5m tree be grown on in a wooden half barrel 44cm deep by 68cm diameter

    Paul Toms

  • Sorry should read 68cm wide

    Paul Toms

  • Dear Mr Toms,

    They would be fine in that size barrell.

    Kind Regards

  • Bought kilmarnock willow for my wife as a late Christmas present. I text Pete prior to ordering, he was very helpful, the tree could not be delivered for date I requested but Pete arranged for my wife to recieve a Christmas card in the post with my message written on it and a card telling her when the tree would be delivered (this was much appreciated)
    The tree arrived on date given. It was well wrapped and protected and the tree is thriving. Wife is delighted.

    Paul Toms

  • Hi I am interested in having this tree in my front garden. Ive heard that the roots may be an issue due to spread and concerned about how they may affect the house drains. Is the kilmarnock ok to plant a few feet from my house?

    Deb

  • Many thanks for your enquiry about the roots and the Kilmarnock Willow is grown so that the roots do NOT spread, so you should be quite safe

    Hope this helps

    Richard

    Richard Beamish

  • Wow! I couldn’t be happier with the Willow tree I bought from Trees Direct. Excellent communication throughout and the tree was delivered on the day I specified. All packaged up well and the tree was in beautiful condition. This has been the best tree buying experience I have ever had. So much so that I am about to buy another tree from Trees Direct this very second. This time for my Mum as a nice surprise 🙂

    Karl Heard

  • What size pot would I need to put one of these DWARF WEEPING KILMARNOCK WILLOW TREES into please ? I really don’t wanted one for my patio

    Marian

  • 35 cm diameter and 35 deep should be fine

    Hope this helps

    Richard Beamish

  • Thank you , ordered one tonight . It’s for my hubby’s memorial garden .

    Marian

  • How long generally does delivery take. Considering buying one for the front garden.
    And is it okay to keep it in a large pot rather than the ground?

    Reace

  • Delivery is approx one week from order and fine to keep it in a pot

    Hope this helps
