Presentation

 


A very sweet tasting fruit and an elegant ornamental, small tree with good autumn coloration and excellent food source for birds during winter, as the tree holds the fruits on the branches for a long time. Its fragrant flowers appear among the large, leathery, entire leaves. It starts to produce fruit from around the age of 6, but it is dioecious, so you may consider to order 2 or 3 plants to get a great chance to have both sexes (we have another listing for 3 plants). Fruits grow to tomato size.

Packaging & Postage details

  • When sending plants, it is extremely important to pack them as securely as possible. Therefore we do not use stuffing. Instead, we have developed a UNIQUE PACKING METHOD which makes plant movement virtually impossible in the parcel. All pots are covered with special media to the very top for the postage and then wrapped therefore compost is securely locked during postage and roots won't be disturbed. Whenever place an order for whatever plant, you can be certain that your item will arrive in perfect condition to your door.
  • We will send you an email about the exact dispatch time and the estimated delivery time, including details about your parcel as there are also some guidelines to follow when opening the parcel to unwrap your plant(s) securely.
  • In almost all circumstances, we use Royal Mail First class service to send your parcels with the delivery aim of 1 day in the UK; or Standard Airmail to overseas. You have the option for Registered (Signed For) delivery. Royal Mail has length limitations for small packets, it cannot exceed 1,2m, if sending it within the UK and 60cm, to overseas. This means that if a plant is longer than that, we have to cut it back to fit into the box. Whenever possible, we try to avoid this, using the right plant for you. For parcels heavier than 2 kgs, we may use UPS fully tracked service. We can send plants in one single parcel for up to 20kgs (size limitations may apply) both to the UK and overseas. Length limitations are far better with UPS service, so none of our plants have to be cut back, if sending it by UPS (please contact us if you want us to use UPS below 2kgs).
  • We combine postage whenever possible, for example if you order plants supplied in 8-9cm pots, the additionals will only cost £0.90 each (within the UK) and £2.40 to overseas. If you order several different plants, please always ask for invoice so we can calculate the reduced postage. You never pay more than the actual cost for sending the parcel so we do not make any profit on P&P, and the packaging is FREE. 
    • YOUR TOTAL SATISFACTION IS OUR PRIORITY, therefore, in the extremely unlikely event the plant gets lost during shipping (you MUST receive the plant in 7 days in the UK and 12 days abroad) OR arrive damaged, we will send you another plant(s) free of charge.  
    • Please note that we guarantee ONE TO TWO WORKING DAY DISPATCH time but we cannot guarantee the exact DELIVERY time as it is beyond our control. For extra peace of mind, from abroad - especially in Summer when the weather is often hot - please consider to order International Signed For delivery (with tracking number) which is usually quicker than standard Airmail, which is NOT TRACKED.
    • It is important to us to care about the environment,  so our plants are grown in injection moulded, strong, reusable plastic pots (this ensures too that they don't break during shipping and afterwards), and we pack our plants in recycled cardboard boxes.
    • All items will be sent in one to two working days after the registered payment as follows (Friday and Weekend purchases will be sent on Monday to avoid any weekend postal delay):

    PURCHASE TIME (WITH PAYMENT)              PACKING DAY              DISPATCH TIME *              USUAL DELIVERY DAY (WITHIN THE UK)

    Sunday 6pm - Monday 6pm                  Tuesday                    Wednesday 8am          Thursday
    Monday 6pm - Tuesday 6pm                 Wednesday             Thursday 8am               Friday
    Tuesday 6pm - Thursday 6pm              Thursday                  Friday 8am                    Saturday
    Thursday 6pm - Sunday 6pm                Sunday                     Monday 8am                 Tuesday

    * Items bought on the day before any Bank Holiday will be sent the next available working day when Royal Mail operates (except Saturdays to avoid weekend delays).

    Return policy details
    We, at Jurassic Plants Nurseries guarantee that we only send top quality trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. We inspect everything thoroughly before despatch to ensure the best possible quality. We also ensure that all of our products are packed as securely as possible - with our unique method - in order to prevent any possible damage during postage.
