EBay member ash_tree_farm

This guy is selling various small trees if you look on his other items. I emailed him and he did me 5 of each of three species. I think 20 Hawthorn might have been a few too many for me. I know they are small but they should grow on ok shouldn't they?

Anyways, thought I would share coz I didn't think that was a great deal of money to spend.

Regards

Toni

Thanks for that, Toni. They do look quite good. Could you post again once they've arrived and let us know what size / quality they are?

Well, I have received my eBay trees today. I ordered 15 I got 20!! Bonus. Smile

They vary in size from about 1.5 foot on the hawthorn to one of the trees being about three foot. Some have the buds breaking whilst others are not showing green yet. I have potted most of them in individual pots to grow on a bit but think I might be as well reducing the height on some of them. They have all had a big dose of superthrive in the hope that they may make it.

I need new batteries for my camera but when I get them I will take a picture.

OK I have FINALLY taken some pics of the trees I bought from eBay. Have also included some of the rest of my messy garden.
