Just wanted to say thanks. We received our order of 3 silver birch trees this week and thankfully the weather was kind and allowed us to get them in the ground in a timely manner!
We are delighted with the trees which look so healthy and are a good size. They represent excellent value for money and we can’t wait to see them take off and grow big and strong.
The whole process was so easy from selection, ordering delivery ((excellent delivery driver who arrived when I had popped out but who left the trees safely in the carport).
Can’t thank you enough and will certainly come back to you for future needs and recommend you to family and friends.
RegardsMrs Hook
