Would order again.
Delivery was by Royal Mail so the box was a bit bashed when it arrived and 1 of the trees not looking great.
A dispatch email with tracking would be great for future orders.
Considering how many miles my orders travelled it arrived in good condition and the little trees roots were in draw string bags with plenty of moisture for their journey.
Definitely recommend.
