These plants are supplied as root balls, the largest one has to be sent by pallet at a cost of £49.95 due to its weigh.

We have one of these trees in our garden and it is a lovely shape and in the cold winter last year the birds enjoyed the fruit. It is very pretty at this time of year, May, with lots of lovely white hanky shaped flowers on. Would recommend it
