Plants were received on Friday thank you.
Fantastic, the roots were almost as well developed as the rest of the plant.
I shall certainly recommend you and your service to anyone who is looking to buy hedging plants.
My partner and I spent most of today planting the yew.
Really pleased with the way they look now that they are in the ground.M Breen

Many thanks for the Rosa glauca which were delivered this afternoon and which are now in the ground.
They look splendid plants.
Thank you for your good service. I am sure I will be dealing with you again.Mo Bennett
Have just had our Christmas tree delivered, and have put it up-the reason for ordering our tree from you was because I have just had a major operation and cannot go out or drive until the new year-I saw your website, and your guarantee if not satisfied you will collect the tree free of charge-I was hoping it would be okay. It is the best tree we have ever purchased! Tall and bushy with lots of lovely branches, the stump cut nicely, it stands up nice and straight And smells absolutely wonderful-thank you so much for helping to make this Christmas very special for us all-we have decided to order our tree from you every year now. We are extremely satisfied customers. Wishing you All a very Happy Christmas.
Thank YouTina Langridge
Hi
The beech hedging arrived safely and was planted within the hour of delivery. The root system is absolutely fantastic and I'm really impressed with the quality of the plants.
Many thanksGill
Can I just say a huge thank you for the Christmas trees that arrived on Tuesday. By a mile the best we have ever had - fresh as a daisy and excellent shape. Coupled with which they were great value for money compared with some of the trees being offered locally.Simon
Great Roses , I have bought from you in the past . Always good communication and the plants always arrive on time and in perfect condition thanksPaul
Many thanks for the lovely Vilmorinii
Kind regards John
We are in our fiftieth year of marriage and I don't often write reviews but I wanted to take the time to tell you that our beautiful Christmas tree was the best we have ever had. Thank you.
Mr. & Mrs. Robinson
Hi all at Ashridge,
I just had to write and say thank you for the best Christmas tree I have ever had!! It has and is still stunning! It hasn’t dropped any needles despite being in a warm room. I have given it water regularly but I still can’t believe how amazing a tree it is!
For me the most wonderful thing about Christmas is having a tree indoors, I absolutely love a Christmas tree and this one takes the prize as the best ever. I can’t thank you enough for sending the most beautiful tree to grace my front room this Christmas, I won’t want to take it down!! And to think all I did was order it on line, no driving for miles to search out a tree, no hassle getting it in or on the car, then out at the other end. It just arrived one day in perfect condition and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it, and everyone who has seen it over Christmas has remarked on just how beautiful it is, and been amazed that I got it in the post! So a big thank you to all of you at Ashridge for the most perfect of Christmas trees.
Best wishes for 2019.S Rothwell
Thank you to everyone at Ashridge Nurseries for your prompt and efficient service from taking the order to delivery. I will not hesitate to either purchase from you again or recommend you to friends.Lesley Atkinson
Hi - everything perfect with my order of snowdrops in the green - all now planted - some still flowering - sure to be back again - excellent service and plants - thank you

Just to say that the Christmas tree I bought from you for this Christmas is the best tree I have ever bought. Beautiful needles, lovely shape etc. I will definitely get my tree form you again next year.D Letham
I have received my plants and trees and I must say that I am extremely pleased they are in an amazing condition and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashridge for confidence in buying on line for quality and delivery, well done !!!Ann Race
Can we just say a big thank you for your fabulous service and the quality of the produce? We will not hesitate to recommend you.Martyn and Sally Webb.
This is just to say that we have been very pleased with the trees we have bought from you. They are all of excellent quality and were delivered on time. We would unreservedly recommend Ashridge Nurseries Trevor and Susan Parr

Thank you Ashridge Trees, my order delivered Wednesday 9th in excellent condition, great rooting system a prime example of this product, well pleased.I will shop again.Doug Sainsbury
Beautifully packed. Now planted and looking very well.Myra Brown
Your package arrived this morning all in perfect order. I wish all transactions were this good (PERFECT).
I hope that we do business again in the near future.David Spragg
I just wanted to thank you for your continued support. We were initially warned to be wary buying any kind of trees of hedging from an online supplier, but you have proved any suspicions were totally unfounded. Not only were you very competitive on price, your continued support has been invaluable. Our first planting did not go strictly as planned, but your advice, professionalism and customer service has been second to none. You have been patient, courteous, always respond promptly and provided sound professional advice. I have found this level of service totally refreshing, and would have no hesitation in recommending Ashridge Trees to any future potential customers. Thank you once again. Sam Dey
I would just like to say how pleased we are with the trees you supplied. Good strong healthy specimens and a first class delivery system.
All the best,Ian
I wanted to leave a message for Ashridge to thank you for delivering the most wonderful Christmas Tree. It is the best we have ever had. It is the perfect size and shape and I shall definitely order another next year. It’s such a success and I shall tell our son to do the same. It took all the angst out of choosing. Clare Pinsent
Thank you once again for excellent service. You delivered our well packed trees early Friday morning as promised and in between the showers we were able to get them planted.Brian Knowles
I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am with the Victoria plum tree you delivered today. It arrived in perfect condition and is a fine specimen. I enjoyed planting it this afternoon. It replaces a rather poor one, from one of your competitors, which never thrived for eight years and died this yearMr. K
Hello Catherine….
yes the plants arrived and have been planted. All had very good roots and were healthy. We are very pleased.
Chris
I'm emailing to saying thank you for your excellent customer service. I received this tree this afternoon as a replacement for a damaged one I phoned you about last week. Thank you for your no quibble response and the speedy dispatch of a replacement. This one is looking good. If I have room for another tree I will definitely order from you again!Anne
I just wanted to thank you for the way you have dealt with my order. The plants are of a very high quality and arrived in excellent packaging and as planned, the whole transaction has been first class from ordering to delivery . I just wanted to acknowledge this and thank you again for the excellent way it's been dealt with.Chris Gardner
My order has arrived safely and I would like to say that the plants were all in great condition.
Planting is now complete today(Sunday) and look great in situ.
Thank you for your efficient and high quality service.
Many thanks,Helen (Orrell)
Thank you so much, Catherine & Co.!
The tree arrived this afternoon along with the rhubarb. It was so well-packed that it took me almost an hour to unravel all the tape, bubblewrap and such. The tree looks great. It has had some compost put around its roots in a breathable bag for this evening and the rhubarb root planted in a pot; I won't plant that out until Spring is around the corner. I find they don't like sitting in cold, damp soil over the Winter when establishing.
Thank you again for all your kind help and valued advice. I certainly know where to come next time!Ruth
Just to let you know how pleased I am with my tree. It is a lovely specimen and arrived in very good condition on the date you gave me. I also found the planting video very helpful. The whole service couldn’t be better
Thanks
Faith GrahamFaith
This is the 3rd year I have ordered my Christmas tree through you and I realised, when I was placing my order, that in the past I used to think my Christmas planning started when I ordered my cards on line - now it starts when I order my tree from you.
Regards
JohnJohn
Thank you for safe arrival of order. Beautiful healthy plants to add to previous orders. A really good service.
Best wishesJessica Crichton
Hi gardeners,
Thank you for the speedy delivery. My personal plants are excellent. Two out of three now in my garden. Thank goodness for the mild spell. Each one full of promise and look forward to their fruits. Thank you for your care.
Jennifer
Hi there,
I have just completed a Feefo survey. Just thought I would let you know how great the lady who served me on the phone was. I needed some plants for my gardener the following day (and I rang quite late). The lady said it wasn't possible so I said OK. Shortly afterwards she rang me back...... She had arranged for next day delivery. I'm sorry I can't remember her name, she sounded quIte young but her service was outstanding, super helpful.
The plants turned up the following morning and I was really pleased with the quality, size and price of the plants and my gardener was very impressed too.
Will definitely order from you again
Thank you
Sian Borley
I have received all of my order with no issues.
I would just like to say how impressed me and my neighbours were with the whole process. Everything from the support to the delivery and packaging was excellent. I have passed on the website details to my neighbours who helped me with planting and choices.
Hugh Fraser
I bought a tall Christmas tree from you this year and it just had to be the best one I have ever, ever had. I usually buy 2-3 trees each Christmas for family in Somerset, London and Cheshire from various nurseries and shops but I have never had one that kept its needles,colour and shape - and looked as good waiting to go on the bonfire as it was when I first bought it some weeks before Christmas.
Thank you,Ursula Inglis-Jones
Dear Mary, Mae and Sarah
In response to your email below I would like to tell you that we very happy with our 4 trees (3 x Himalayan Birch and 1 Common Alder) that we ordered from you.
The trees are all happily tucked up in the soil of our paddock.
In particular I'd like to praise your website and the email contact that you kept up while we were waiting for all our order to be available (the common alder delayed things quite a bit - not a problem for us though). The video on help with planting a tree was really good, although I was extremely jealous of your soil - ours is heavy clay!
The other important point I'd like to praise with your service concerns the way the trees had been packaged, not a single bud was damaged. You'd also sent us great specimens. The latter is a very important point as when ordering on-line, its not as though we can pick and choose the actual tree ourselves.
In summary its a big thank you from usNikki
I want to say an enormous thank you for the tree you supplied. It exceeded all my expectations. It was an absolute pleasure buying from you and look forward to ordering from you again, in the future. To everyone at Ashridge...thank you...you are awesome. :-)DONNA BROWN
Many thanks for our recent delivery of 40 lavender Blue Hidcote. I would like to thank you for the care you have taken over this order. The plants are very good quality and were well packaged. I also appreciated the post-delivery email to check all was well.Lygo Roberts
i just wanted to say how impressed I was with the quality of your service and plants. Delivery was efficient, the 12 Rosa Ragusa carefully packed and healthy. This was in contrast to some shrubs I ordered from another company which didn't match their online description. I will definitely choose Ashridge Nurseries again and have recommended you to other people. I wish I'd ordered the other shrubs from you too!Kathy
I was very impressed with the quality,health ,condition and size of the trees supplied with my order .An excellent reflection on your Company.John Turner
I just wanted to say how very pleased I am with the trees I ordered from you. They arrived on Thursday. Sue Coates
Just wanted to say how delighted we all were with the service, quality of the tree and prompt delivery. Thank-you!
We spent the weekend decorating the house for Christmas, and my wife and two you boys were so pleased and excited at putting the lights on the real tree outside!
We'll be using you again, next year and every year!
All the best for Christmas and the New Year!Marc
Thank you so much, my order has arrived - already. Now that really is good service, it just couldn't be better.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Stephanie (Hibberd)
Thank you very much for the splendid Syringa Beauty of Moscow. It arrived in perfect condition and it was so lovely to have it within days of ordering.Hilary Catchpole
Many thanks for delivering the damson tree and accessories before Christmas. It is now in the ground and looks to be a splendid tree. Also thank you for the refund of the postage and packaging it has now landed in my account. The Naked Wines Voucher was a welcome surprise.
I hope to do business with you again in the New Year
Best Wishes and a Merry ChristmasMike
In response to your email checking the safe delivery of my order, may I thank you for the superb secure packaging and the excellent quality of the plants.Richard
all the hedge plants arrived safely and the great packaging meant that their roots were still damp. They're all in and we're watering regularly - looking forward to seeing first leaves. This is the 4th time I've ordered hedge plants from you and I laid the hedge we planted at our allotment site last year - great plants have now made a lovely hedge... here's a photo!Miranda
Thank you, yes, I have received my order and am extremely pleased with everything you have sent and the way all the plants and trees were protected.
I definitely will be a future customer and will recommend you to others.
Thank you again,Lori
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your web site together the efficient service and advice I have received.Russ Mathieson
Thanks for the great service. Tree delivered & delighted with quality - thanksJan
Dear All at Ashridge Trees
Thank you so much for supplying us with our 5 trees as ordered.
They were packaged with such care and clearly by people who adore their job and love their trees !
We took great delight in unwrapping and planting them. All the family helped dig the planting holes and fill them again. Wishing each tree welcome in its new home. Petitioning them for ‘delicious eating apples’, ‘ crumble apples’, ‘pears for supper’ and ‘plums and gages for puddings’.
We will take care of our new charges and reap the fruits of their labours for years to come.
With kind regardsThe Tompkins family.
Just received your trees
Delighted with the quality
Thank you
Regards
NickNick
All trees received, well packed and ready to plant, along with rootgrow.
Time to get digging!Mike
Just a short note of thanks. I had not ordered from you previously and, looking for options to order hedge plants on-line, I found your website easy to navigate and informative. The ordering process was straight forward and I appreciated the way you kept me informed, including letting me know the day you had dug my plants. When the plants arrived (in two packaged bundles) they were clearly labelled and very healthy looking. I look forward to seeing them grow! Thank you.Mr. Hesketh
Well packed, great communication throughout, impressed. First time I’ve bought from you, but will certainly do so again.Rob
This was a gift from my sister. I just wanted you to know that these are the best quality plants ever delivered to me .....and I regularly order good quality online stock from Crocus, Sarah Raven and others.
Thank you very much. Planted today!S Lewis
Our order arrived on time Tuesday & was found to be all in good condition & correct when opened on Saturday, it is now all well planted & waiting for Spring....Many thanks to the teams again for a first rate delivery of good quality plants, selected from native hedgingPeter A
I just wanted to let you know my plants have arrived today as promised. I have unpacked them and they are wonderful, I am so pleased with them. They are much bigger than I expected and in tip-top condition. Thank you so much.
I also think they are really excellent value for money – I buy most of my plants on-line (living in Cornwall the choices are a bit limited) and I had looked for Hydrangea seemannii at my usual on-line supplier but they were so expensive I was a bit put off. Ten pounds per plant more (!) Then I searched around and found you – your plants were considerably cheaper and larger so I was a bit worried they might fall short of the mark. But… absolutely no worries on that front. In fact I bought two seemannii from the other supplier earlier this year (I think they are a very ‘useful’ plant, particularly for someone who lives in a walled garden) so can do a direct comparison. Interestingly, they are smaller than yours now even though they have been in the ground and well cared for, for more than six summer months.
Many thanks, excellent service and terrific plants – I will be back..!Debbie Frost
Dear Ashridge
I have now received the plants as ordered and want to say how impressed with the 50 Dwarf Box plants ordered. The speed of delivery was truly amazing !
In addition, the telephone advice which was given was 'second to none ; and I will not hesitate to deal with you again.
Very Many Thanks for sending me these 'quality plants' and here's hoping we can look after and endure them for may years to come.Joseph
Dear Ashridge Nurseries
I have always been impressed with your service and all the goods I have bought have been great. But I am absolutely thrilled with my Rowan tree planted in my front border recently. It looks wonderful and I can't wait to see the leaves, blossom and fruit come out.
Many, many thanksBarbara Thurston
My lavender hedge has just arrived, beautifully packed and in perfect
condition. Many thanks - I'm looking forward to getting the plants into the
ground and watching them flourish!Kate
The rose tree arrived at the right place at the right time and in very good order. Thank you very much.M
Thank you Ashridge! My trees arrived safely yesterday and I am delighted with both the quality and condition as well as the very efficient service and advice. I will certainly recommend you to others.Ian Oxfordshire
Dear Catherine,
I am delighted with the Pear tree. It is a lovely shape and in excellent condition, well packed and transported. It is already in the ground, looking perfect. Thank you for the advice and attention to detail.
Kind regards,Yvonne Gil
Thank you for my roses they were delivered today and are already in pots.
I am absolutely delighted with them and will look forward to the summer blooms.
I couldn't have wished for better, healthier plantsMerry
The plants were well packed and the quality and condition of all plants was excellent. Thank you, I should have ordered more! R Lewis
Just a bit of feedback, my last order from you was the best quality and best packaged trees
I have received this year. They took a while to arrive, but when I opened them up was very impressed.
You produce quality trees and customer service is excellent.
I will be in touch next season.Richard
I received the Cider Apple trees and the Discovery pollinator this morning in the rain. That has kept them nice and moist as I unwrapped the huge parcel. For maidens, I'd expected trees either 5ft or a bit shorter, similar to ones received from other suppliers in the past. Yours were over 6ft and all in blossom. All in exemplary condition and well-branched. I shall need to put them in deeper pots for the time being, having been doused in rootgrow gell and shakings of the dry rootgrow to give them head start before planting them properly, where they are intended to grow on.
I cannot thank you enough as these five trees will last a lifetime. Ashridge trees come highly recommended by me.
I now look forward to making my own cider in the years to come.Myra
I am absolutely delighted with the trees which arrived yesterday. The Lime Tree is a lovely shape and nice big size, I can't wait for Spring!E Elliott
Yes my order(s) has been received and just want to say many thanks for your excellent service and brilliant website, advice etc.
Everything planted!Naomi
I just wanted to let you know that our Christmas tree was wonderful. I have only once previously bought a tree sight unseen and that was a disaster. Luckily for you I had forgotten this when I ordered my tree from you! I need not have worried as you delivered a beautiful tree, well pruned and healthy. It seems a shame to have to take it down but we will definitely be ordering one from you next year if we are at home.B Montgomery
Dear Ashbridge, I want to thank you for your excellent service. Both my recent orders arrived when you said they would and the plants were in top condition. The information on your ordering webpages was very helpful and my email questions were answered efficiently and were again very helpful. Well done. I will recommend you to other gardeners. Nicola
First rate plants and first rate service. The plants arrived within two days of placing the order so thanj you very muchCharles
Hedge planted - am delighted . Fingers crossed it springs into action!
Ashridge were terrific thank you - and hedge planting video on website .Laura Field
Dear Ashridge Nurseries
Many thanks for the cotoneaster simonsii delivered today in excellent order with really good root systems – much appreciated.
With kind regardsPenny
I just want to say a big thank you to Vikki and the whole team for ensuring my order of apple trees were delivered safely after all my faffing about. They are lovely examples and will make a lovely mini orchard. Hope to order again from you soon(if you allow me to).V Parker
It came a lot quicker than I had expected and I'd like to congratulate you on your excellent packaging.
It was easy to handle and the plants were held firm. A change from other plant orders I've received from some suppliers.Lorraine
Your/our tree arrived in perfect condition this morning and was planted, fed, watered, staked, rabbit-guarded within a couple of hours. It looks really lovely and we are delighted with it: looking forward to enjoying it for many years. Thank you very much.Gill
Thank you for the excellent quality of the trees. They arrived at 12 pm and were planted and watered in by 3 30pm. The root balls ware so substantial that we had to make the trench wider in places.Pat Bailey
This is just to say what a really splendid tree you supplied. It is the best we have had for many many years and beautifully packed too. D Haley
This is to all the staff that run your company!!
WELL DONE! It makes a change to deal with a professional company, quality goods, well packaged, helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient staff. If only all companies were like yourself.
Yes the trees are in (touch wood!) this weather should help, let's hope they take Jo Peel
Just wanted to drop you a note to say how pleased we are with our tree. It's an excellent shape and you had packed it so carefully, we especially appreciated the bamboo cane to keep the top well protected.
"Bruce the Spruce" is installed, decorated and looking gorgeous in our hall.
Thank you very much indeed.
Shelley Lawson
Thank you so much, the trees have just arrived in perfect order!
Brilliant service!
I’m really grateful you sorted out my delivery and look forward to planting the trees with the help of your excellent video.judith
Hi Catherine,
I know its probably an automated email but many thanks for the enquiry about my order and delivery.
I couldn't be happier, the bare root tree/standard I got delivered was much bigger, healthier and shapely than I expected. It was extremely well packed too.
I'll certainly be ordering from you guys again. Mark LEWIS
Thank you for our delivery of two fruit trees. As usual they have arrived on time, beautifully packaged and in superb condition. They are now happily planted on the Red House Ramble. We would like to thank all involved for your outstanding service and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy and Proseprous New Year.C Savage
order received in very good shape and we are very pleased with the quality of the plants and with the service we have received. So many thanks!Paul Medlicott
Received recent order and as usual it arrive in excellent packaging.Plants in superb condition.I know I can always rely on you. Many thanks.Mike
Thank you for our Victoria plumb tree; as usual it was packaged perfectly to protect the excellent shaped tree within > we planted it this afternoon!Nikki
I would like to thank you for the beautiful tree you sent me. I was so pleased with your service from start to finish. The smoothest purchase of a Christmas Tree ever. It usually involves taking car seats out of car then hoovering up pine needles etc.
All my family were very impressed and we hope to be buying from you again next year.
Well done and Happy Christmas and New Year.Y Masters
Our trees arrived safely yesterday, for which many thanks. We will be planting them tomorrow. We are most impressed with the quality of your customer service and will recommend you to others without hesitation.
Jan
Dear Ashridgetrees, I am writing to thank you very much indeed for your prompt attention to my order, received first thing this morning and only placed on 4th March. All your staff have been most helpful and courteous . I look forward to receiving my remaining 2 orders and watching them grow. I shall certainly use your company again and recommend you to my friends and colleaguesJane
Just to let you know my order of 2 x thornless blackberries and a rose
arrived on Saturday,looking really good.Planted on Sunday.
The reason for the blackberry plants is that we have stick Insects in our garden,
They love roses,and my roses have been munched this summer.They also like brambles
hence the thornless blackberry plants!!JC
Just a short note to say what a superb Christmas Tree you supplied me with – actually better than the last one. It looked wonderful.
And I’m more than delighted with the bare root fruit trees you supplied me with recently, all of which have gone in and are showing bud.
From my point of view, it is very comforting to know that I will only ever get the best from Ashridge.A PEEL
I just wanted to drop a quick message across to say how pleased I am with the Bay Tree I received today. It’s beautiful - since your delivery driver knocked at the door, I basically spent the rest of the day admiring it! Thank you so much! L Groom
Bare Root vs Pot Grown
Bare-root Plants are only delivered in the winter season, from November to May. Pot grown plants can be delivered all year round
Advantages of Bare-root plants:
- You pay less for the same size plants.
- You can carry and plant them easily.
- You ... More
Ashridge Trees: Bareroot plants vs Pot-Grown Explained
Bare-root Plants are only delivered in the winter season, from November to May. Pot grown plants can be delivered all year round
Advantages of Bare-root plants:
- You pay less for the same size plants.
- You can carry and plant them easily.
- You only plant them in winter, so they need less maintenance after planting. The ground is naturally wet for their first few months.
- You get the biggest selection: Many trees are not sold pot-grown.
- They are "asleep" in winter - this is the best time to transplant any tree.
- They use fewer fertilisers & fungicides, less water and less packaging and fuel in their production & delivery.
Advantages of Pot Grown plants: - Pot grown plants can be delivered & planted all year round.
- Plants with tender roots & larger specimens must be delivered in pots.
- Plants in pots can be kept for months longer if there is a delay in planting.
Our Advice to You:
If you can't wait to get planting, order Pot grown plants now.
If you are not in a hurry, order bare-root plants for delivery this winter.
In both cases it is usually a good idea to order early.
