A healthy looking twig arrived in a pot. So far it hasn’t really done anything, so I can’t really tell if I’m happy or not just yet

Too soon to comment hence score but plants arrived in excellent condition.

It was labelled something like ‘coming out of dormancy’ – which is strange in September. The growth is spindly and pale. I don’t know how well it will recover.

This is such a unusual salix, I have 6 different varieties of salix, but never had a creeping one, amazing plant

Well packed plants. This plant has lots of branches with green leaves and is very healthy.

The plant was well-packed and still growing well. This is as hoped and suits where it has been planted in a gravel garden.
