Very impressed with roots

Very impressed with roots
So pleased with our Mulberry tree
It arrived in a box which had been so carefully wrapped to protect the plant whilst in transit.
Our little tree is now potted and thriving positioned on our decking.
Thank you Roots we will definitely buy more plants from yourselves ☺️

I bought a bare root apricot tree…

I bought a bare root apricot tree which, sadly, didn't grow. Upon investigation it was discovered that the tree was dead. Contacted Roots and explained, sent some photos and the tree was replaced within a few days. Excellent service.

Really impressed!

Never bought from the company before, but I was really impressed! The tree we ordered (as a gift) came so quickly, and was really well packed. Tree was well watered (even in the heat) and was in great condition. I will be back to buy plants now for our garden! Thank you.

Poor customer service and delivery timing

Ordered 8th July.

‘Order before midday for next day delivery’ advised at check out.

Email receipt after paying advised expected delivery date of 16 July.

Not delivered until 20 July.

Used the online ‘contact us’ and 2 emails whilst awaiting delivery - still awaiting response from Roots.

Tree delivered is great, however customer service and advertising is not.
