Not sure if price is good i comparison to other stores but they look quite small to go outside your front door for that price I think

Well I've been looking for some time for these kind of 'plants' & they are a good price - bear in mind there are 2 of them. 4 foot is the usual size for artificial plants , occasionally 5 ft & previous buyers recommend repotting anyway to stop them blowing over so that would add another 6 inches.
They also have some banyan trees at half price but they dont look so good.
I'm hopefully going later to pick up my reserved plants so will report back on quality etc

got the last one in my area yesterday. Pack had been opened, plastic but fairly real looking leaves, concrete in base all broken (probably dropped). Will set them in a couple of blue ceramic pots with more concrete for weight as they are wobbly at the moment. Leaves appear to be poked in to a tangle of dry twigs, have a tendency to moult although I don't know if the wind is enough to do this or its just because I have unpacked them and loosened stuff. Would say they are OK but not fantastic for the price. HTH

i pick mine up today as well but fairy satisfied with the product. it was fairy thin and needs serious repotting. but think will look nice beside the front door , especially during christmas, i will put a few fairy light twirling around it

Got mine today - the last in the area - & am very pleased with them.

At the moment they are sitting on the patio steps & look good but I'm sure the kids will knock them over soon if left there. The plan was to put one each side of the door of the new conservatory - should really finish it off. They definitely need to go into another pot to show off to best advantage I think.

Even better though is the cardboard box they came in - it's kept the kids occupied all day :T
