Our Damson Shropshire Prune arrived quickly and superbly packaged. It was a good sized, well grown young tree. We will definitely be buying from this company in the future and will certainly recommend them to other gardeners.

Good range of trees at competitive prices, website also has a lot of information. Trees were well packaged and the communication about dispatch and delivery was first class.

I purchased both apple and pear trees, as column trees, along with blueberries and strawberries. The fruit trees are now in, as are the strawberries and blueberries. I found the buying experience excellent, the plants healthy, and I particularly like the information on the website. Delivery was as described and communication was good. I would definitely use Chris Bowers & Sons again.

Very helpful advice prior to buying. When four trees (in pots) arrived quite quickly they had clearly been carefully packed and the compost was still nice and damp. Clear planting instructions on their website, so altogether a happy purchase. The real test will be to see how the trees are in a year's time!

Ordered a bare root cherry and plum tree and the order was delivered on time and well packaged. Follow up email sent to check all was ok with the order. Unfortunately, the plum tree failed to grow properly but with some photos sent and advice given it was promptly dealt with and a replacement sent. Extra special mention for Gemma in customer service - she was excellent - speedy replies and advice. Would definitely use again and would recommend to others.

Lovely cherry trees - arrived well packaged and weathered the journey fine. Now planted out and are doing well in the garden - would definitely order from this company again. Prices are really reasonable as well compared to other sites.

The choice of fruit trees is second to non. Much more comprehensive than the large local garden centres and nurseries we have in my area. The quality and health of the trees are excellent and clearly have been well nurtured. The dispatch and delivery were fast and I found the clever packaging really protected the trees. Follow ups from Chris Bowers and after care sales are both attention to detail. Excellent supplier and company ethos.

A couple of months back, my order of an apple tree on a dwarf rooting stock experienced a delivery problem with the courier (not an unheard of event in the NE of Scotland), and thus it arrived in a somewhat wilting condition. I planted it nonetheless, but when I received a follow-up email from the incomparable Gemma, I sent some photos of the little tree which was not doing well and, by return of post I received a replacement tree, which is strong, healthy and growing very well. Both times, the trees were very well packed, and the second one arrived in excellent condition. I am extremely happy with my purchase, had a very positive experience with Chris Bowers & Sons, and I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

I bought quite a few fruit trees from them. Although some of the seem to be doing well, both of the plum trees are dead. I sent them an email about it I had no response from them at all. Looking at other reviews, all good as long as you don’t need their after sales care. If you do, you are on your own
