Good range and great service. Ordered two pear trees from here as another nursery I was considering was out of stock. Chris Bowers had exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price and the trees arrived in good condition within 48 hours. That would have been enough on it's own, but a day later I received an email from Mr Bowers himself asking if I was happy with my purchases and did I need any help or advice on planting or cultivation. I said yes, and again received a personal reply the next day. In these "cash & carry" days that's awesome service and I'll definitely order from Chris Bowers again

An excellent selection of fruit plants, which is a joy after visiting some of our local garden centers! The delivery of our fruit trees was prompt and they arrived in excellent condition. The thing that stands out the most with this company is the customer service, receiving a personal email rather than an automated response is a rarity and a much enjoyed aspect of buying from them. I don't think we'll be looking anywhere else for fruit trees in the future!

This is a brilliant nursery with a superb range of varieties. Far more than you get in even the best garden centres, selling older, traditional, varieties as well as the latest releases. I have bought fruit trees in the past and been delighted with the results. This time I wanted a few raspberries, to fill in gaps in the row and I chose Malling Promise, an old sort from the 1960/70s. Normally I would go for bare rooted plants, but because I would be away I asked if they were available in pots, which they were. Replies to my queries were prompt and the plants arrived in excellent condition a few days later. What more can one ask. I am retired now but for many years I was the director of the HDRA, now called Garden Organic, which was then Britain's foremost authority on organic gardening. Chris Bowers supplied many of the fruit trees and bushes grown at our national demonstration centre and I thoroughly recommend them. This nursery is a real gem!

I bought two apple trees 18 months ago. They are both fruiting now and looking healthy. When I was choosing the trees I asked for advice about the suitable pollinators and received it promptly. The trees arrived quickly.

Prompt delivery with plants in very good condition and thriving a week on. Nice to be able to purchase small quantities as it meant I could try two sorts of strawberry plants to grow in my fairly small plot.

I needed advice before purchasing an apple and pear tree. Several emailed questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The trees were well packaged and healthy. I rest assured that they offer a guarantee for the first growing season. Customer service is excellent - a follow up email from them checked if everything was ok, plus they remain at my disposal for further advice. I would definitely purchase again, their advice and after sales support is greatly appreciated.

Purchased an Apple, Plum, Cherry and Green Gage tree - all arrive safely and well packed. Plants arrived very healthy and have since been planted outdoors and doing well so far. John also provided some prompt advice on one question I had as well.

Have had an apple tree and a plum tree in Autumn of last year and a cherry tree this summer. We have been more than happy with the service we have had from Chris Bowers. All trees were delivered promptly, were well packaged and the first two are established and doing well. The cherry has only just been delivered and planted. We received a follow up email with an offer of advice and assistance if necessary. Had received helpful advice prior to ordering the apple tree and plum tree, regarding choice of trees and suitability of size for the garden. More than happy to use Chris Bowers again.

I bought 2 x Martlet gooseberry bushes which I had chosen due to their resistance to mildew and late cropping. I received 2 very good sided bushes in July and have even had some fruit try. They can well packaged and in excellent health.

I received two beautiful trees, a red Falstaff apple tree, and a very pretty apricot tree. Had a very positive experience, well shipped, protected, and then received a follow-up email and some advice for the planting of my new trees. Wonderful service, thoughtful approach
