A*** looks stunning in my porch.
I ordered a tree fern and a Japanese Maple. Delivery was fast but the plants were way better than expected. Judging by the pics online, I was expecting quite an undeveloped tree fern but it had lots of leaves and new growth so it looks stunning in my porch. The Maple is also great. Really excellent value and no complaints whatsoever! I nearly went to Crocus but so glad I took a punt on Roots Plants. Will buy again xxx

Anniversary Gift
I used ‘Roots’ to buy my wife a Calamondin Tree from our 35th Wedding Anniversary. I found the whole experience easy and trouble free. They have a very comprehensive website with great variety and informative detail on product and product care.
The delivery took a little longer than expected but the tree arrived in great condition and is now enjoying prime position on the patio in a fab new pot. Would happily recommend to anyone based on my experience.

A progress update
I purchased an Almond Robijn tree from Roots Plants. The tree took a while to establish. I patiently waited and watched the tree grow from strength to strength. Now in its third year, this tree has produced dozens of delicious sweet, crunchy nuts. Despite having had our fifth heat wave in Berkshire, this tree has not been affected, as it took time to establish deep roots. It continues to flourish and now also provides dappled shade for my numerous ferns! Thank you for a beautiful healthy tree, with bountiful produce! 5* service from delivery to receipt. A high quality product and a trusted seller. Thank you ; O )
