Plants not in best shape

Plants not in best shape. Branches twisted and some leaf scorching. May be better with a year or two settling in

Good value for a Menhir

Really excellent packaging. Quick delivery. Plant looks strong enough, you never know until it's got a few months under its roots. But very hopeful.

Exceptional Plant

I had been looking for a lemon tree for a long time before deciding to order one from Roots plants. It was my first time using this site for plants and I will be using them again.

The delivery took a little longer than stated but when the lemon tree arrived it was well worth the wait. Even though I ordered a 4 seasons lemon tree and received a Limone Adama lemon tree I am very pleased with the plant itself and will be keeping it.

I will also be ordering another 4 seasons lemon tree and a Sweet Orange tree in the near future.

Well done Roots team.

It's wonderful to know that the plant itself has brought you such joy. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the delivery time and are thrilled that you're considering us for future purchases. Thank you for your kind words!

One very good and one just OK.

I had the two for one offer which was exceptional value. One Acer was exactly the shape I expected the other very lopsided. Maybe I can train it. I would not have paid £14 for it. For the good one I would happily have paid more.
Both were stressed and one was dry, probably because they were delivered late, not next day.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you were happy with the shape and value of one of your Acers, although we’re sorry that the second plant wasn’t as you expected and that both arrived looking stressed.

We have been in contact with you regarding this and have asked you to send us some photographs of the plants so that we can assess their condition and look into this further for you.

If you could please reply to our message with some photos when you have a chance, we’ll be happy to review them and advise you further.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

I required two different grape vines

I required two different grape vines, unfortunately one of my choices was out of stock so one was ordered from another company.
Roots quality was outstanding in comparison. The packaging, condition of the vine, condition of the damp soil , size of the vine and leaf size were amazing.
Both vines were of the identical size when ordered. However, what arrived from the other nursery was very disappointing as was the condition and size of the vine.
My future intention is to only use Roots when ordering for my garden .
