"The choice and quality of plants from Burncoose has been superb. I've planted about 20 of your rhododendrons in the past 2 years, some more delicate than others, and every one has come through a very tough winter in open woodland. Many thanks, keep it up!"

"Burncoose always provide an excellent service. It is many years since I last visited your nursery but express the hope that I might be able to do so again within the next couple of years. The quality an variety of plants make it a very worthwhile trip. Ditto in respect of Caerhays which I loved."
