英国 树木商店 Tree Shop – 覆盖九大类的树木灌木在线供应商

关于树木商店

树木商店（Tree Shop）是英国一家专做苗木和灌木的在线供应商，网站自我描述是「Quality trees and shrubs」。公司主体是 Tree Shop Ltd，实际控制人是 John Davis，他自 1986 年起担任前身 Woodland Improvement and Conservation Ltd 的董事长兼总经理。这家前身公司 1937 年就成立了，是英国经营时间最长的造林苗圃之一。

整条线是这样接起来的：前身公司在 2001 年开设了这个网站，2010 年 7 月公司重组，网站转到新成立的 Tree Shop Ltd 名下。简单说，卖树的生意做了将近九十年，在线卖树这条线做了二十多年。

商品分类

商品分九个门类，按店里的分类页数得出来：盆栽苗 85 株最多，其次是树木园品种 81、原生阔叶树 41、针叶树 29、树篱植物 22、灌木 18、果树 17、盆栽培育苗 19，另有护树配件和柴火各 1 类。树苗按规格分成三种——盆栽苗、营养钵培育苗（cell grown）、以及在苗圃地块上培育到一定尺寸再起苗的苗木，后者单价最低也最适合作林带种植。

店里的常销货能看出他们的主打方向：黑刺李、欧洲桤木、绿山毛榉、欧洲山楂、欧洲花楸、银桦、小叶椴、七叶树和甜栗这几类原生树种是主力，树篱按每株几镑的单价卖。护树配件这块有竹竿、螺旋护筒、EASYWRAP 套袋和支撑木桩，都是新栽苗木头两年要用的东西。

选苗的入口不按科属，按使用场景分得更细：适合小花园的树、耐阴的树、生长快的树、秋色叶树、能改善空气质量的树、白垩土和碱性土能活的、干旱沙土能活的、贫瘠酸性土能活的、湿地能活的、适合城市环境、抗风、防风林带和庇护林带，以及野生动物友好这一类。这套分类对不懂学名的人比按属分更好用。

按场景选苗

选苗的入口不按科属，按使用场景分得更细：适合小花园的树、耐阴的树、生长快的树、秋色叶树、能改善空气质量的树、白垩土和碱性土能活的、干旱沙土能活的、贫瘠酸性土能活的、湿地能活的、适合城市环境、抗风、防风林带和庇护林带，以及野生动物友好这一类。

这套分类的价值在于，它假设买苗的人未必知道学名。承包一块地之前，先按土质和水湿条件把范围缩到能活的那些，再在范围内比价格，比在几百个学名里硬挑要省事得多。

运费与配送范围

运费按订单额阶梯收，未含增值税：75 镑以内收 15.75 镑，76 到 200 镑收 23.10 镑，201 到 300 镑收 31.50 镑，301 到 500 镑收 42 镑，501 到 1000 镑收 47.25 镑，1000 镑以上收 52.50 镑。小额订单有便宜的做法——1 到 15 株的 40/60 规格走皇家邮件走英国大陆，运费只要 8.90 镑，但得在订单备注里写明要求走邮寄。

苏格兰格兰扁地区和高地另收运费；根西岛、泽西、马恩岛、怀特岛以及北爱尔兰和南爱尔兰可以送，但成本要跟速递公司谈，得先联系。这是一家纯线上的店，没有实体展厅，全部靠快递发货。

免费种植指南

站上有一批免费的 PDF 指南，讲的多是造林和经营层面的事，不是怎么养一棵苗：如何营造一片林地、农用林地的间伐、把原木卖掉、木柴生产、拣择林作业，以及防护林带的营造——其中一份引用了《Quarterly Journal of Forestry》上关于最优防护林带（Optimal Shelterbelts）的文章。对要承包成片造林的客户来说，这几份比商品页更实用。

苗后的养护和管理也是他们强调的部分，站上说团队会就栽植和后期养护的问题给建议，有问题可以发邮件问。退款和换货按各自的条款处理，另有一份投诉流程页面。

About Tree Shop

Tree Shop is a UK online supplier of quality trees and shrubs, trading as Tree Shop Ltd and owned by John Davis, who has chaired and managed the predecessor company Woodland Improvement and Conservation Ltd since 1986. That business was established in 1937 and became one of the longest established silvicultural nurseries in the country. The website opened in 2001 under the Woodland company and moved to Tree Shop Ltd in July 2010 as part of a restructuring, so the tree-growing trade behind it is close to ninety years old and the online side more than twenty.

What They Sell

Stock is organised into nine categories: 85 pot grown trees, 81 arboretum species, 41 native trees, 29 evergreen, 22 hedging plants, 18 shrubs, 17 fruit trees and 19 cell grown trees, plus tree guards and firewood. Trees come in three forms — pot grown, cell grown in root trainers, and field grown trees lifted at size, the last being the cheapest per plant and the usual choice for shelter planting. Best sellers point at the nursery’s emphasis on native species: blackthorn, common alder, green beech, hawthorn, rowan, silver birch, small-leaved lime, sweet chestnut and horse chestnut, with hedging sold by the plant at a few pounds each. Accessories include bamboo canes, spiral guards, EASYWRAP tree shelters and stakes.

Choosing by Situation

Rather than sorting only by botanical group, the shop filters by the conditions a plant has to cope with: small garden trees, shade tolerant, fast growing, autumn colour, improves air quality, chalk and alkaline soil, dry and sandy conditions, poor and acid soils, wet areas, exposed conditions, urban trees, wildlife friendly, and hedgerows and shelterbelts. For anyone who does not know the Latin names, that framing is easier to shop from.

Delivery

Delivery is charged in bands, excluding VAT: £15.75 up to £75 of order, £23.10 from £76 to £200, £31.50 from £201 to £300, £42 from £301 to £500, £47.25 from £501 to £1000 and £52.50 above £1000. Small orders of 15 or fewer 40/60 cell-grown trees can go by Royal Mail within the UK mainland for as little as £8.90, provided the order is flagged in the comments box for postal delivery. Scotland’s Grampian and Highland areas carry an extra charge set by the courier. Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight and both Irish regions can be served, but the cost has to be arranged with the courier in advance.

Free Guides and Aftercare

A set of free PDF guides covers the bigger picture rather than plant care: creating a woodland, taking thinnings from farm woodland, selling sawlogs, firewood production, coppice with standards, and building a shelterbelt, including one drawing on an article on Optimal Shelterbelts from the Quarterly Journal of Forestry. For anyone tendering for woodland planting these are more use than the product pages. The shop also points to its team for advice on planting and aftercare, and has published terms for exchanges, returns and complaints.
