    I bought these two years ago, they were ok, took a very long time to be delivered.

    Oujt of the five trees I got, four have "grown" and the two (I assume as they didnt come with any identification other than coloured tags) pears are pretty poor so far, despite being in excellent conditions.

    I moved three of them this year and replecd them with other trees purchased from a scottish supplier which have all out done the trees planted previously by miles.

    Hope this helps

    Hi
    I did this deal and got the trees about a month ago - so far they are all coming into leaf and look healthy enough. Obviously early days though!
