"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. "

"We just had to write and let you know how delighted we are with our plants and trees that we have received from you over the years. How you packed my Acer on my latest order without even damaging a leaf I do not know, but it arrived in excellent condition."
