I ordered two patio peach trees, one of which arrived today (late April) and should be in leaf. What actually arrived was a completely dead specimen. The twigs were brittle and the buds were shriveled. How any packer would mistake this for a living specimen evades me.
From checking review sites (after the event) that, it seems that this is far from unusual - and to rub salt into the wound, these reports also state that their customer support is non existent as are refunds, so I'll guess I'll have to bite the bullet and take the loss. I have no great hope for the second patio peach tree and will try and source decent specimens elsewhere.
An expensive lesson in ALWAYS checking reviews on different sites - how they get over 50% on Trust Pilot site evades me - I shouldn't be suprized if they spend the time they save by conning people into buying dead plants to write fake reviews!
Hopefully, someone will read this review and avoid Gardening Express like the plague. I will certainly never use them again.
