Has anyone on here successfully bought trees off the above company?

 

I ordered and paid for a few apple trees back in the middle of November, I think delivery was quoted as "late november onward".

Middle of december, not heard anything so I asked and they said it will be "going to despatch in the new year,"

 

 

Then today they send a slip out in the post saying "we are estimating delivery for mid-late February...."    "....we have ample stocks and your order is reserved with your name on it.."

The note in the post came in a hand written envelope!

 

The order was only for 4 trees, you wouldn't think it would take them this long to pull them out the ground and put them in a box 

 

 

Does anyone local to the area know the nursery, are they even still trading

That’s Cornwall.
And I’m not joking.

Carrot crunchers in Norfolk.

Normal for Norfolk, worth looking it up.

As a Norfolk resident I take great offence at these comments. 

 

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've suffered abuse on the subject. 

 

That's 6 time's goddammit.

Whales were land mammals then returned to the sea. Possibly Norfolk choosing same path and will be hunted by little yellow blokez with explosive sticks in the future. K
