I've just had a thought, they probably won't post them out until September.

thanks for the link:  I've ordered a silver birch because they are beautiful  :happy:

BTW: the T&C's specifically state that only one tree per household and that if anyone is suspected of using scripts to order more than one (don't know how that works) that they will invalidate the request and bar that person from entering any future offers  :ohmy: 

Don't know if that applies to anyone trying to order more than one

Also, they also say that the trees will be sent out in the Autumn which is tree planting time.

WooHoo, my silver birch has arrived today in a protective cardboard tube  :D.
Anybody else got theirs yet?

I might have accidentally applied for two (a Rowan and a Silver Birch)  :wub:. One has arrived today, but I'm not sure which. Could be the Birch, thinking about it.....

I thought the hessian bag idea was rather good  :)

Mine arrived today and is now in a jug of water. I'm donating mine to my work place as they are trying to make a small woodland area in one part of the garden.

Mine arrived and the top half of the tree is not happy but it has some shoots towards the bottom might be more bush like than tree like.  Its potted on for now
Thanks
Kris
