    First class nurseries, been using them for few years as you will receive your plants in a couple of days not a few weeks like mail order trees or gardening express! Plants are in top condition when arrive and packed really well! Best place to order plants is Ashwood nurseries

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
