Reviews

I ordered a particularly hard to find small tree from Bluebell Nursery on a Tuesday. The same day I received a call checking and confirming delivery instructions and also offering advice and growing instructions. I was asked if it would be ok to deliver on the Wednesday or Thursday. To my immense pleasure the tree was delivered on the Wednesday, superbly packaged and with all the buds protected from damage. I cannot rate this company any higher and heartily award 5 stars for service. I look forward now to visiting the Nursery and looking around the Arboretum.
