Recieved Sambucas nigra from thegardenshop.ie today. Looks in great condition. Really recommended using thegardenshop.ie. Thanks guys! Can't wait to see it in pride of place in the garden.
Beautiful plant. Big and healthy in pot. Very well protected. Came very fast. I ordered one day and the second day i had in my hand. Very happy with service
10-20% of the plant's branches were snapped, otherwise the speed and quality of the delivery was excellent. A recommendation for improving delivery, would be to use straw as a kinetic insulator, as the plastic air pockets do not absorb kinetic hits within the box. Straw is a far superior insulator.
Received this plant in a good healthy condition - have repotted into a bigger pot for the time being and will transplant into the ground once it has established more. Looking forward to seeing it flourish. I would definitely recommend paying for the express postage on plants as they arrived in much better condition than an earlier order which had standard free delivery
Lovely healthy plant.

Ordered black alder, blackthorn, white thorn and guilder rose. All arrived in good condition - look good healthy plants. Quick delivery and reasonably well packaged. Good price. Would recommend.
