Dear Paul, I am emailing you to say that not only did the trees arrive in tip-top condition, but now they have been planted, their buds are unfurling and they look happy in the (huge) pots they have been planted in, underplanted with woodlandy plants. I would recommend your trees to anyone, and already people have been forced to admire mine when they are not even in full leaf yet!
