FREE Tree

Damnation, do these fit through the letter box? I had a card left a few days ago to say that something needs collecting from the sorting office & I've not gone yet, it's a few miles & through major roadworks.
I wasn't expecting anything except a few freebies I've signed up for. It could be a dead tree.

They wont fit through your letterbox, it comes in one of those poster postal tubes.

Mine arrived by post van today. We're the last road on his route on Saturday. Postie didn't believe me when I said it was a tree, but stood there whilst I unpacked it and showed him! I'm glad we were home when he called, else it too would have sat at the sorting office until next week. It's leaves are turning golden now, but it's a decent enough sapling, it should grow fine.

I didn't contact them to complain about my dead twig and handful of dried leaves, but I'll give them credit they must have guessed as they made a second delivery today, but you guessed it I got a second dead twig and handful of dried leaves. You'd have thought they'd give them a soaking before posting but yet again as dry as a bone.

Got mine... all the leaves fell off as I removed it from the tube It's currently sitting in a tub of water to try and revive it but I think it's too far gone.

Hey I have been done! My hessian bag wasn't boot shaped, just a little bag! Have had my "tree" a couple of weeks now and it's in a small tub of compost on the garage window cill. It's looking pretty dead but I will leave it there till Spring and see what happens!

:rotfl:
i am hoping my mother gives me her wee bag
i want to make a heart shaped thingy out of hers

it did say everyone would receive a sapling during their dormant season
what you have received will be fine
i hate to think people have binned them thinking they are dead
