    Yes, they are potted trees, around 5' tall. I repotted them when I bought them a couple of months back, and they look very healthy. They should be fine.

    Thanks all :smile:

    Bare root gets off to a good start more quickly but it should only be potted stuff at this time of year.
    A good supplier won't sell bare root other than winter to spring.
    And yes, I've taken sickly/small or cheapie plants and potted them up, cossetted them and then planted out. That goes well too.
    Must be an estate there if you're planting trees BendyHouse.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    Thanks, 2'penny. More a 'state' than estate, tho'.

    It's a largish garden, but these will be for screening - psycho neighbour...
