The Dwarf Weeping Willow Tree Gift
- Weeping willows are incredibly evocative, dramatic ornamental trees, and with its compact habit, fluffy yellow catkins and pendulous branches, 'Kilmarnock' is a variety that certainly fits that mould, making it an ideal gift for recipients who like a bit of impact but who are limited on space.
- Willows are symbolic of strength, adaptability and resilience, growing (and thriving) in conditions that many other trees would balk at. Don't let their easygoing, low-maintenance nature fool you, these lovely little trees are as tough as they come.
- Designated as one of the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators, this tree will attract plenty of bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinating insects.
- This tree gift will be delivered wrapped up in a luxury hessian sheet, tied with a stylish bow and then packaged in a premium cardboard box (complete with instructional care card inside).
- A lover of sunshine, 'Kilmarnock' willows are well-suited to growing on sun-soaked, south-facing balconies and patios.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
