Complementing your Unusual Baby Gift with a Tree

Advice on Choosing a Tree to Accompany your Baby KeepStake

A gift tree from Trees Direct

With such a wide choice of trees, where do you start? There are a number of factors to bear in mind when choosing the perfect tree; colour, height, spread, hardiness, soil type, fragrance and season of interest if you want to coincide this with the date of the baby's birth or christening. The very best resource for narrowing down your options is visit the Royal Horticultural Society's plant selector.

Take your time to choose the tree that gives you the best combination of the qualities you desire and also suits the area you have chosen for planting. If you decide too quickly, you may end up with a tree which needs lots of pruning because it becomes too big for the site or one that will need a lot of specialist care to grow.

We work in partnership with two online tree delivery companies, Trees Direct who are based in the UK and The Gift Tree Company who are based in Ireland. Both of these companies are expert in delivering a huge selection of young trees directly to your door. They can also provide professional advice on the best type of tree to accompany your baby gift plaque.

If you want things as easy as possible, we can supply unusual baby gift packages that include tree seeds or garden centre vouchers.
