    I had some of my shrubs delivered today, and hadn't checked them. After reading your post, I've also got 2 missing, scored off on delivery note. The ones I've got look in good condition though.

    Yes, there are plenty of roots on them.

    Has anyone tried their soft fruit offers as my DH has pruned my raspberries with a vengeance and not sure I'll ne seeing any new canes in the future!
  • I buy potted plants from garden shops. The fruit trees I buy from high streets have their roots covered in compost and wrapped in plastic bags. Are these called 'bare root' deals as well?

    Because, the plants I got from company had nothing around their roots and not single leaf on the branches or anything green anywhere. Is this normal? I have dipped them in water now. Has anyone got a similar deal and did the plants grow?

    Thanks.

    I've got an apple tree I bought from rocket gardens and that came without compost just bear roots. It arrived a few months ago and is now budding

    I have a missing Coxes and called them - they said it would be coming from a different nursery, and would arrive in a few days but if it had not in 14 working days from the order to give them another ring.

    A huge thank you to all who post the comps and deals that make life so much fun!

    I also phoned today and have been told items out of stock with supplier, so I'm getting a refund for undelivered items. It's Japanese quince I'm missing.

    My tress and shrubs are still awaiting despatch so I'm guessing we won't actually be getting them?
