Anniversary Gift

I used ‘Roots’ to buy my wife a Calamondin Tree from our 35th Wedding Anniversary. I found the whole experience easy and trouble free. They have a very comprehensive website with great variety and informative detail on product and product care.
The delivery took a little longer than expected but the tree arrived in great condition and is now enjoying prime position on the patio in a fab new pot. Would happily recommend to anyone based on my experience.

A progress update

I purchased an Almond Robijn tree from Roots Plants. The tree took a while to establish. I patiently waited and watched the tree grow from strength to strength. Now in its third year, this tree has produced dozens of delicious sweet, crunchy nuts. Despite having had our fifth heat wave in Berkshire, this tree has not been affected, as it took time to establish deep roots. It continues to flourish and now also provides dappled shade for my numerous ferns! Thank you for a beautiful healthy tree, with bountiful produce! 5* service from delivery to receipt. A high quality product and a trusted seller. Thank you ; O )

The fig tree was beautifully packaged to protect it in transit. When unpacked, we discovered a very healthy and well grown fig tree with a very good shape to grow on. This was a present for a friend so we were very happy to be able to give them this particular tree.
