Beautiful addition to the terrace

Easy to choose and order what I wanted from the website, accurate on delivery times, kept informed on progress of delivery. Was a present for a friend who was delighted and arrived looking exactly like the lovely specimen in the website picture.

Plants arrived in time

Plants arrived and were well packaged. However we feel the information in website is a little misleading with photos of more mature plants. We had hoped the plants would have been slightly more established at time of arriving.

I ordered an acer having seen the picture and description of the tree on the website. I expected it to be tree shaped with a leader that would enable it to grow into a normal tree shape. Instead it had the main leader cut off and the two small sideshoots remaining also pruned so it cannot grow in a normal tree shape

Reply from Roots Plants

Hello, Thank you for your review, and we are sorry that the Acer you received did not meet your expectations.

We have contacted you directly regarding this matter and have explained the labelling error that occurred. We have also arranged for a replacement tree to be sent out to you.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.

Many thanks,
Sophie

AMAZING SERVICE

Very nice website and relatively easy to order. Had a small issue, which a very lovely lady called Sue, sorted out for me both on the phone and email. Sue certainly went above and beyond to help and I congratulate her on her customer service skills - an asset to Roots! Will certainly be buying from them again.
