Chris Bowers & Sons Avis 

I came across this site on Google while looking for a dwarf cherry tree, seemed reasonably priced and simple to order, so went ahead and ordered. I received a confirmation email shortly after and read the delivery dates which stated between 7 and 28 days, with delivery usually taking place within 7 days.

Now, I quickly thought I'd look up reviews for peace of mind and just see what everyone has to say about their experience with this company. There were some positive comments which were swarmed with negative ones. I did panic slightly, but I know the internet can be a place where stories can be written with a very bitter mind with unfortunate circumstances. So I still gave the company the benefit of the doubt.

7 days passed and I still had no email, I refrained from emailing and let the process continue until 11th day, I received an email from the courier which was APC confirming a delivery time slot. I amended the delivery situation to leave my parcel at the side if the house as no one would be home.

I received an email confirming delivery with a photo of proof. I arrived home and see the tree had been packaged very well with hay in a heavy duty paper sleeve. The tree was intact and tied to prevent branch breakages. I see the buds are there, along with the tag confirming which tree it is.

As it stands, credit where it's due. The company has sent out an item within it's timeslot and the tree appears to be in good condition. Now to see if it responds to being planted up and hopefully I get some blossoms. I think it's always going to be hit and miss ordering plants online and I'd still always recommend local if you can to avoid disappointment. This is the first time I've ordered a tree online and Chris bowers and son has delivered.

As a garden designer, I have ordered from this company many times and always found their nursery stock excellent. Plants arrive swiftly and well packaged. Excellent customer service.

The site had what we wanted for a very good price and the delivery time was reasonable. The two trees were well wrapped in a paper package with straw (hurrah - no plastic!) and looked fine on arrival. Now they’re planted snugly in the garden we’re looking forward to seeing them come into blossom in the spring and eventually to some juicy pears!

First class service right from the start .
I had an email confirming my purchase and one when posted.
The tree was very well packaged and of good quality.
A follow up email to check I was happy is a really nice thing to do it shows good customer care. Thank you

Ordered a Dawf Gisela 5 Lapins cherry tree, email send back without order number, no one follow up. Called their CS, no one answer. Recommend paying them with PayPal, easier to refund

Ordered 7 fruit trees... all failed to show growth.
Contacted this company by email as impossible to get an answer on phone.
Received curt several line reply.." we would have expected you to contact us sooner "
Not signed, no apology or attempt to resolve complaint. Follow up email to them ignored.
Very poor company on several levels... customer service the worst I have ever experienced. Just curt and arguably rude.

Had several orders of great healthy trees from here. Great range and price. Really appreciate the plastic-free packaging also.

I have nothing negative to say. My two trees arrived very quickly and extremely well packaged. The communication was excellent and the trees appear healthy - they are bare root so I shall have to wait until the Spring to see any growth. I have used many online nurseries in the past, and Chris Bowers is by far the best one, the trees were really well protected in their packaging which was an added bonus. I certainly won't hesitate to use them again.

All good. The 3 trees wrre in perfect condition. The price was reasonable and delivered very quickly.
I will use again when needed and I will certainly be telling my allotment friends

Quick delivery well packaged and great looking blueberry plants. Cant wait to see the fruits they bare

An excellent company with excellent products and advice. My plants arrived very well packaged in excellent condition and in good time. I will definitely use again

Bare rooted plants seem in good health. Appreciated the compact packaging. Let's see how they are doing during the growing season. Their customer aftercare followed up after the order to see if any issues, which seemed a nice touch.

We looked at their tree’s last year, so a couple of weeks ago , we ordered 3 little fruit trees . After a few days they arrived,
well packaged and in really good condition. We are delighted with them ,
they’re in the ground now .

( Not Tufor ) thanks trustpilot )

The range of fruit trees available was very good. The price was very reasonable. The trees arrived on time, well packed with straw wrapped around to protect them. They look in good shape. Fingers crossed that the fruit will be as good!

Ordered 4 flowering cherry trees. Delivery was very poor as dumped at the side of the road, no attempt at actual delivery to our house. This is despite very expensive delivery costs. Freezing conditions and pitch black. When unpacked found 4 bushes instead of trees, very disappointed and no reply to my comments but at least I received something so considered myself lucky given some of the reviews.

Fuss free delivery thank you - my pear & plum trees arrived safely in good time and well packed using sustainable materials. I ordered 2 apple trees last year and they have established well. Helpful advice expert provided, great selection of tree varieties, and an easy to navigate website.

I have just bought two potted Brandt grape vines
They were well packed for delivery and looked healthy
I am confident that they will grow well
If not gamma will tell me what's wrong???

I was very impressed by the quality of our vine and excellent customer service. Terrific company - delighted with them. John

Fantastic quality, unusual ' heritage' varieties, fast delivery, beautifully packed. Brilliant. Top top goods.

I ordered a 'Misty' Blueberry to plant with the ashes of my dog Misty. It arrived in very good time, perfectly wrapped in straw for protection and and thick recyclable bag. Good size and great quality.

They even followed up with a personal email to ask if I needed any advice about planting etc. and could contact them any time for help. Brilliant service thanks!!
