From cherry blossom to citrus trees, Tree2mydoor turns plant gifting into something far more memorable than a standard bouquet
Many of us have been fortunate enough to receive flowers through the post at some point. But what about a tree? Tree2mydoor enables you to send a thoughtful and enduring gift with minimal effort.
There’s something instantly appealing about the concept. It feels considered, almost poetic - a gift that doesn’t just mark an occasion but literally grows with it. Birthdays, weddings, new homes, anniversaries… this slick online service offers the perfect opportunity to wow someone with your gift-buying skills.
As a gardener and self-confessed tree lover, browsing the website is a joy with well-structured sections on trees, roses, and plant gifts. Each gift description also features clear care instructions for your chosen plant or tree so no green fingers needed.
Traditional favourites such as cherry blossom, silver birch and magnolia sit alongside fruit trees including apple and pear. There are also evergreen options for year-round greenery, as well as wildlife-friendly choices designed to encourage birds, bees and pollinators into the garden.
Despite the huge amount of choice, navigating the site is easy as you can search by pretty much any category you can think of - including colour theme, recipient, price and where the gift will live such as a patio or conservatory.
I was sent a beautiful lemon tree that arrived in robust packaging and in a hessian-wrapped pot.
With glossy evergreen leaves, fragrant white blossoms and no less than a dozen young lemons already growing nicely, it now has pride of place in my greenhouse. My hope is that they'll grow and ripen just in time for those late summer G&Ts.
Even if you don't have a greenhouse or conservatory, the citrus trees you can find on Tree2mydoor will happily grow in a container on a patio or in a bright indoor space.
The lemon trees are available in three sizes, allowing you to choose the tree that feels right for the occasion.
- Young lemon tree (35–45cm) currently £36.98. A charming starter tree, perfect for windowsills, small patios or sunny conservatories.
- Established lemon tree (60–65cm) currently £46.98. A fuller and more mature plant that makes a generous gift.
- Statement lemon tree (70–80cm) £58.98. A larger citrus tree with impressive presence, ideal for creating a striking patio or conservatory feature.
If you're looking for a plant, the rose collection, in particular, feels quintessentially British, ranging from elegant pink and white varieties to richly scented red roses. Beyond roses, there’s also an impressive selection of flowering plants and seasonal favourites, from fragrant lavender and olive trees to vibrant hydrangeas and colourful patio plants that instantly brighten outdoor spaces.
Standard delivery is from £3.99.
You can even add a personal message free of charge or elevate the gift with a card or add-ons like citrus feed.
