Free specialist delivery on qualifying orders: At Harrod Outdoors, we take pride in delivering top-quality plants directly to your doorstep. Our delivery options are tailored to the size and type of plants you order, ensuring they arrive in excellent condition and ready to transform your outdoor space. We offer free specialist delivery on qualifying orders across most of the UK.
Typical lead time – around 3–4 weeks: Most orders take approximately 3–4 weeks to prepare and deliver. This time allows us to carefully source from our extensive range, prepare your plants to our high standards, and ensure everything arrives in peak condition.
Kerbside delivery only: All deliveries are kerbside, meaning your plants will be unloaded at the front of your property (driveway or kerbside) and will not be carried beyond this point. It is your responsibility to move the plants to their final location once delivered.
Safe place required: Please specify a safe place for box, pallet or van deliveries in your order notes. If none is provided, drivers will leave your order where they deem reasonable. Pallet and large tree deliveries require flat, solid access such as tarmac, concrete or brickweave – we cannot deliver onto gravel, shingle, grass or public roads or pathways.
Be available on the day of delivery: It is essential that you are contactable on your provided phone number in case the driver needs to reach you. If access is restricted, no safe place is available, or the driver is instructed not to leave the order, delivery will fail and additional delivery charges will apply or you may need to collect from the local depot.
Plan ahead: We recommend not booking landscapers or gardeners solely based on estimated delivery dates, as occasional delays can occur due to factors beyond our control. For full details, view our Delivery Policy or contact us for advice before ordering.
If you need help selecting the right plants or have specific delivery requirements, our friendly team is here to assist. You can trust us to handle your order with expertise every step of the way. View our Delivery Policy or Contact Us for more information.
Scots Pines grow 30–60 cm (1–2 feet) per year when young, making them a moderately fast-growing option for landscaping or reforestation projects. They establish quickly and can grow up to 35 meters (115 feet) tall, making them ideal for larger spaces.
Scots Pines are best suited for spacious gardens, parks, or restoration projects due to their mature size. While they can be pruned and shaped for unique landscaping features like bonsai or windbreaks, they are not ideal for small gardens.
Scots Pines thrive in well-drained, sandy soils and tolerate poorer soils. However, they struggle in waterlogged or compacted soils, so proper drainage is essential when planting.
Not at all! Scots Pines are hardy, drought-tolerant, and pest-resistant. Once established, they require minimal care—just occasional pruning if shaping is needed for landscaping purposes.
Yes, Scots Pines support a variety of wildlife by providing habitats for birds, insects, and fungi. If you’re looking to enhance biodiversity in your garden or project, Scots Pines are an excellent choice.
Yes, Scots Pines are the UK’s only native pine species and play a vital role in ecosystems like the Caledonian Forest. They are an eco-friendly choice that supports native biodiversity.
No, Scots Pines are evergreen and retain their needles year-round. While natural needle shedding occurs occasionally, it is not seasonal like deciduous trees.
Scots Pines are a long-term investment with lifespans ranging from 150–300 years or more. They can become a defining feature of your landscape for generations.
Scots Pines are versatile and ideal for windbreaks, natural screens, reforestation, or as focal points in large gardens. They also pair well with other native species for cohesive and sustainable planting schemes.
Plant Scots Pines in late autumn or early spring for the best results. They require moist but well-drained soil, ample space for growth, and occasional watering during their first year. Minimal pruning is needed unless shaping is desired.
