## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely for a gift
*by M***. on 11 August 2023*

This was a gift and the recipient was delighted with it. It was well packed and the saplings arrived looking healthy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mmmmm...Sloe Gin!
*by F***S on 14 July 2021*

We love Sloe Gin, but can rarely find wild Blackthorn Trees, so thought I would check out where to buy. Came across this, you get for small little twigs, but all healthy with planting advice include. We don't have a great garden, so planted each tree in a large plant pot. They seem to be doing very well! Couldn't be happier!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy young plant, wrapped and delivered securely.
*by C***T on 30 May 2021*

The plant was healthy and fresh. The package was secure and time in transit was minimal. I recommend this firm.
