Reviewed 19th September 2019 by Elisabeth These arrived in good condition and were planted in spring. They haven't put on as much growth as I had hoped but they are in quite clay-like soil. They are still alive and green(!) so I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year. |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Christine Delivered 3 roots and earth only - not even a little shoot. Note with delivery to tell me this was “normal”. My gardener actually laughed at me for trying to plant them! One out of 3 only has started to grow and in a few years time we are hoping to be able to see it without a magnifying glass. Feeling a bit conned..... |
