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

Alder Trees for Sale
Alnus Varieties for Sale
Alders are fast-growing trees that thrive on and improve poor soil. Their roots quickly bind loose or rocky earth and they also grow in waterlogged conditions. They prefer a sunny location and grow to about 20-30 metres tall. Common Alder and Italian Alder are the largest members of the family; Italian Alder is also suitable for rough, country style hedges and makes an outstanding windbreak. Red Alder can get pretty big too, while Golden Alder is more slender and stands out with its bright yellow-green leaves. Grey Alder is very vigorous and it tends to produce a thicket of suckering stems which these are great for wildlife. As a family alders are extremely useful as quick growing infills in the kind of soil most of the garden trees you can buy here would turn their noses up at.

Thankyou, the trees have arrived safely and were left in our porch. They are in perfect condition.Ms T Fedden
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
Thanks for the great service. Tree delivered & delighted with quality - thanksJan
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
Thank you, Ms Young. I received the order last Thursday (7 April), as scheduled. Everything was included and arrived in perfect condition. The plants have already been planted. I am grateful for your help.Elemer Szabadi
Can I please just pass on my thanks for getting the 60 copper beech hedge plants out to me when you did, a couple of weeks ago.....
I know the weather has been awfully difficult for you, so to get me the plants out as you did, to time in with my week off work, was hugely appreciated.
Rob D
I just received my order of a Rowan and Spindleberry and I wanted to thank you for such good quality plant material. I used to be a horticulturalist so I know what to look for in quality. Also I had some retired hardy nursery stock growers staying with me and they were impressed as well and will be using you next time they need a tree. I am looking forward to seeing the lovely yellow berries of the Rowan next year and, in time, those bright Spindleberries - my woodland corner is going to look great. Happy Christmas JaneJane
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
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
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
Thank you Ashridge for a beautiful tree delivered to my house. Fabulous service and lovely tree.
K Haddock
Hello Catherine….
yes the plants arrived and have been planted. All had very good roots and were healthy. We are very pleased.
Chris
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
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
I Just wanted to say many thanks for my recent order the plants look excellent and I am very happy with them. Your service has been great too and I will be sure to order with you again.

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
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
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
Order was delivered yesterday, just unpacked it all, everything is fine and dandy thank you for an excellent service.
Keep doing what yer doing!Tom Vowles
Hi all at Ashridge!
I really enjoy reading your emails and follow your jobs to do with gay abandon! Well, perhaps not quite such gay abandon, but you know what I mean!
Just got home from a lovely meal out to celebrate my birthday today and am listing jobs to do for tomorrow if the weather is reasonably kind.
Keep up the good work and look forward to your further emails!Frances Tarbin
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
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 order arrived in great condition will be buying more from you. Your delivery firm were impeccable. Could not believe the quality and size of the trees. Thank you again and have a great year ahead. Chris
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
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
Just thought I’d let you know we are very pleased with the tree, it was delivered on time and is of top quality.Mr. Johnson
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
Good afternoon
A quick note to say the complete order arrived safely yesterday. The tree looks splendid and will make a fine feature in the garden. Cannot wait for next spring to see the blossom on the Blackthorn.
Many thanks for speedy and helpful service.
In the nicest way, we have your number!Finlay
Hi All
Just wanted to say my Christmas Tree is perfect. Beautiful shape and condition. Well packed and the Delivery Driver was marvellous carrying the tree to the back gate. Thank you Ashridge.
Merry Christmas

Dear Ashridge
just felt I needed to thank you for the trees which arrived safely, healthy and are now planted and stood to attention down our driveway! You even arranged the rain to come for the last two weeks to water them : )
I wanted to say how much I appreciated each communication I had with your staff - all helpful and pleasant. I wouldnt have any hesitation in recommending you to anyone.
Many thanksJan
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
Dear Ashridge team
Thank you again for all your help with the processing of the order and getting the delivery out quickly..
All turned up yesterday and in good condition - I can now head up to Norfolk next week to plant the bulbs - thank you so much!
Excellent customer service - couldn’t be happier

I just wanted to thank you for my order. The beech hedging arrived in good condition and looks healthy. Your service was very efficient and you have been a pleasure to deal with. I am looking forward to watching my new hedge thrive! Many thanks, Claire Claire
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
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
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
I just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing tree and service. I have not see a freshly cut tree like this since I was a child and it was quite emotional when I saw its lovely bright green needles. I will certainly be ordering a tree from you every year from now on and some plants in between in the spring. Thank you so much once again and and may I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. BarryBarry
Thank you for updating my order. I appreciate your high standard of customer service and hope to buy more trees from you in the future. I still have space for more!Julia
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
Thank you so much for the lovely tree which arrived safely late yesterday and is now planted and staked. It is first class tree - a tree for life instead of a Christmas Tree!
Thank you once again
Jane
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
First rate plants and first rate service. The plants arrived within two days of placing the order so thanj you very muchCharles
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
Maureen
Thank you for my order of Lavender (Munstead and Hidcote) to replant two borders in lavender hedging which arrived safely and in good condition. It's the first time I've ordered plants online and it's been a good experience. Your website is clear, informative and straightforward to navigate with good advice too. When I called your company to discuss delivery dates I found your staff very helpful and friendly. I have recommended Ashridge to friends already! Many thanksJune Inglis
Thank you for a great service and easy, informative website.Ruth W
Thank you so very much. Once again such very good customer service. You are indeed, a super company.
Brilliant and many thanks again
Margaret
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
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
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
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
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
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.
I just wanted to say how very pleased I am with the trees I ordered from you. They arrived on Thursday. Sue Coates
Dear Ashridge Just to say thank you for our order which arrived, as always, in perfect condition. I recommend you to everyone! Regards Cheryl Cheryl
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
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
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
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
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)
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

Narcissi, primulas, camellias, rhodos, azaleas, bluebells and twenty-five varieties of magnolia promise a spectacular display.

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
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
Good afternoon
Just like to drop you an email to say how pleased we were with the 2 Christmas trees we purchased from you, especially the larger of the two it was such a beautiful tree it seemed a shame to decorate it.
Thanks again
Mr A
Hello Ashridge Folks
The trees and accessories arrived as planned and the two beautiful Whitebeam saplings are now planted and will, hopefully, have long and happy lives where situated.
The trees were planted in memory of my husband who died last year so the care, attention and patience you gave this order are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Should I need trees, other garden goodies (or advice) in the future, for whatever reason, I will certainly be returning to you.
Very best wishes for Yuletide and 2020.
Regards
Liz LowrieLiz Lowrie
Dear Ashridge Nurseries
Many thanks for the cotoneaster simonsii delivered today in excellent order with really good root systems – much appreciated.
With kind regardsPenny
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
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
Thank you for my sweet peas, they are in excellent condition,
The plants are well presented, carefully wrapped to protect the tender stems and I would highly recommend you.
My beech trees are also appearing to do quite well. A little early to see if they have survived the winter but certainly looking good at the moment.
Susan
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
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
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
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
Amazing staff, Amazing service, Amazing products! Better than Christmas!!!Matthew Croft

Dear Ashridge Just to say many thanks for your usual efficiency in despatch and careful packaging. I’m very pleased with the quality of the stock - it looks excellentR. McCall
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
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
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

Hi good morning Bit delayed due to eye operation but our raspberries are all great - had to share as not one was less than perfect. Thank you so much, fantastic service, beautiful canes. Many thanks indeed. Penny
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
Thank you. All arrived safe and look really good strong and healthy - they came this morning and all are planted now.
Excellent quality and service.J Joseph
I wanted to tell you how fabulous the sweet peas are that I ordered from you this year and how thrilled I am to know that I will have the same again next year...thank you very much!
Emma
Just to let you know that we were very pleased with the quality of our recent orders (x2). We’ve now planted nearly a 90 trees this year. Everything you sent really was first rate and we look forward to watching everything start to grow. Your service and your helpful advice were terrific as well. We will back for more, larger orders at the end of the year. Now that we know what we are doing! Thanks again.WB
The plants were well packed and the quality and condition of all plants was excellent. Thank you, I should have ordered more! R Lewis
I am writing to you in relation to the 'Ellen' daffodil bulbs we bought off of you. We would just like to thank you and compliment you on the bulbs. We are keen gardeners and these are best bulbs we have ever used. We will certainly be using you again.T Thornberry
Thank you for the efficient handling of my order. The yew and beech hedging plants are of excellent quality and I'm really pleased that I bought them from Ashridge! Thank you
Frances
Many thanks for the delivery of fruit/plants over the weekend. They are lovely plants, I’ve never seen raspberry canes with such good root growth. I shall pass on my recommendations to any new allotment/garden starters next year.
I have been growing fruit and veg for over 15 years and finding quality plants and good service is always a challenge on the internet. Keep up the good work.David Hunter
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
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
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
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
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.

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

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
The rose tree arrived at the right place at the right time and in very good order. Thank you very much.M
Thank you for the subject order. Received in very good order. My compliments on your packaging regime. Outstanding.Abel
Beautifully packed. Now planted and looking very well.Myra Brown
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
Thought I’d drop you a line to thank you for the wonderful quince bushes that arrived yesterday. They are really top-notch trees and are already planted in a nice sunny spot. Purely, on the back of this I’ve now ordered these two apples from you, so hope sincerely that they will be similarly really great quality bushes.Mark Edwards
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
Thank you so much for my trees they really are super specimensAnnie
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.

Best wishesJessica Crichton
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
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
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
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
Just a quick email to say how delighted I am with the plants, packaging, delivery etc. Will purchase from you again, when I can think of something edible I would like to grow.D Collard
The tree & roses that you sent at the time we asked for, despite the wet weather, are very good specimens. They were wrapped well too. We have just finished planting them, taking advantage of a few rain free & sunny hours! ThanksChristine
Just wanted to thank you for such a good service and especially the strong and healthy quality of the plants. Also, they arrived earlier than expected which was excellent. Your carrier Yodel kept me very well informed. Mr Booth
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
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
Hi thank you for my purging buckthorn, which came on time today and in great condition. Really nice root systems. They were unboxed and planted up within the hour.C JONES
Well packed, great communication throughout, impressed. First time I’ve bought from you, but will certainly do so again.Rob
Dear all at Ashridge. Thank you for completing my order prior to Christmas and an even bigger thank you for the excellent Csar plum and Newton Wonder apple what really beautiful young trees they are. I hope I can grow them on into wonderful productive fruit trees. They were packaged, obviously, with great care and arrived without a blemish in fine condition; even the delivery driver was polite and enthusiastic ! I am most grateful for your excellent stock and services and wish you all a Happy Christmas. GilesGiles
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)
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
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
Just to say your sweet peas are the best we have ever grown. Many thanks. See you next year!
E Alway-Jones
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
My tree was delivered yesterday together with the rose I ordered.
I just want to tell you how delighted I am with my order. It was packaged beautifully, so well in fact that I had difficulty in getting into it but when I did, I was thrilled with what was inside.
Both the lovely tree and the climbing rose are planted and I look forward to next Spring when they will both begin to show their glory.
Thank you so much for excellent products and superb packaging.
With kindest regards,
LesleyLesley
All trees received, well packed and ready to plant, along with rootgrow.
Time to get digging!Mike

Many thanks

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

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.
