“Ordered 3 bare root fruit trees in the spring 2022. All arrived on time and well packaged. Despite the drought all are now 2-3 times their original size (to eventually reach orchard tree height). Excellent customer service and value for money.”

“I bought two bare root dwarf fruit trees online. They arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. I have found the e-mail-based customer aftercare to be exceptional. Expert advice was provided in answer to my queries and communication was very courteous, prompt, and professional. Great work. Many thanks.”

“Having bought a greengage earlier this year from elsewhere only to find that it was a less than ideal specimen that has failed to survive, despite planting alongside my other fruit trees, I was apprehensive about my latest purchase - but Chris Bowers have supplied an excellent and healthy young gage that shames my earlier purchase. I'm extremely pleased - so, many thanks CB for selecting what I'd hope to receive from the other nursery.”

“Excellent packaging of my Blueberry bush which was in incredibly good shape - lots of berries on it on arrival. It is in a large pot and is growing so well and producing more berries this year. Definitely recommend this company for quality.”

“I wanted an apple tree for my allotment, but didn't know much about them. I found this company very informative which made choosing easy. The tree came well packaged and was easy to plant. It's thriving now and looks great. The customer care is excellent. They've even been in touch to see if I need any more advice which is excellent service.”

“I had a very positive experience researching and ordering apple trees from Chris Bowers. I wanted something a little different, old variety apple trees; one a cooker, the other an eater. They needed to be complimentary for pollination. Great advice on options. I didn't expect CB to have a call centre or to respond to my enquiry immediately, but they got back after a couple of days with reassuring advice which is fine. Young trees safely arrived last autumn and planted with good amount of well rotted alpaca manure. The following summer, both trees are doing well with good growth and plenty of foliage for young trees. Important to water well, particularly young trees trying to establish themselves. If they are what they purport to be, I will be very happy with first fruit in a couple of years time. Do remember to water your young trees regularly”

“Red Falstaff Apple Tree M27 I bought a Red Falstaff apple tree on M27 rootstock a few months ago. It had to be M27 as we are training it into a step-over tree. It’s doing really well so far, extremely healthy with lots of new green leaves. I mixed in lots of manure when I planted it, and I water it well every week or so. I would definitely buy from this company again. They sell a wide variety of fruit trees on a variety of different rootstocks, which is exactly what I want.”

“I was a little worried seeing all the negative tales on this and trustpilot. My experience...Ordered 3 trees at start of September and was told delivery towards end of the month. DHL notified me of the delivery as per the email from Chris Bowers 25th. 3 trees packaged well in paper and straw so full marks for sustainability. They look healthy with some foliage and ranging levels of grow on them. My experience has been very positive and it was one of the few nurseries with the 3 items including an Asian pear I wanted all in stock at the same time with delivery in September. The price was good and delivery cost very reasonable for 3 trees. As long as they are the stated varieties, I'll be a very satisfied customer and would use again.”

“The Czar Plum tree on pixie stock that I bought in 2018 fruited for the first time this year and unfortunately the fruit was bright yellow and the tree has grown to over 12 feet in height! I had to trace back through my bank statements to find the original order date. To my complete surprise and great satisfaction the tree was replaced straight away with no quibbling. This is exceptional customer service. So thank you very much.”

“This nursery is excellent. The plants are very healthy and strong. The prices are very good and postage is surprisingly cheap. They even deliver to the Highlands and there is no punishing postage added. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I would buy from them again and they get full marks. Many thanks!”

“Impressive list of fruit trees on web site , all said to be home grown and reasonably priced. Ordering easy and descriptions generally accurate though could be more informative as to size of each tree as delivered. Delivery offered for late Autumn which was Ok, but in fact items delivered within 2 weeks of order. Arrived well packaged with ample straw packing to keep trees in good condition. The Courier clearly took some care in delivering the package undamaged. Yet to see how the trees will grow but so far well pleased with my purchase.”
