    Put mine straight in the bin. What a waste of time and energy - sending out dead trees !

    mine arrived two days ago, they should have sent a label reminding people what it is!! i know its not the pine cos there were some dead leaves in the bottom of the tube. it is a stick in a bag.!! will plant it in a pot and see what happens.!!

    Picked mine up the other day but it was sat at the sorting office for about 4 days and looked mostly dead, I've planted it so we'll see if it recovers.
    Never let your sucesses go to your head and never let your failures go to your heart.:beer:
  • My Silver Birch tree arrived, poor little thing! I left it in a pot of water for a couple of days and then planted it, and it's revived and looks ok. Inside was a little leaflet telling me it was a Silver Birch and a few care instructions, perhaps it fell out of lots of people's tubes? mine was open at one end, and I'm surprised poor little tree got here at all!

    has anyone had a rowan yet?
    it's a shame people are throwing out what they think are dead trees.
    i have a horse chesnut baby tree i forgot to water all last summer and it looked to be a totally dead twig last year, but i left it alone for the winter in a pot in the garden and this spring it sprouted leaves and grew healthily.

    pls dont throw them out, plant it in a pot somewhere not too exposed, forget about it till next spring and hopefully they could still grow

    Rowan? No, that's what I ordered as well. Had an email a short while ago saying our trees would be sent out shortly, but I'm still waiting. Maybe the rowans aren't ready yet?

    Update on 20th Oct. Dried up little twig of a tree arrived today!
