"I came across your site and just wanted to say that about 20 years ago I bought a couple of trolleys of plants from you, every one of them did well and they now look wonderful. Incidentally, Feijoa sellowiana is always said to be only half hardy but mine has been growing outside in Essex ever since and is now fifteen feet tall and fruits beautifully each year. Many thanks for all the plants. "
