YouGarden Italian Cypress Trees, Set of Two Established Plants in 20cm Pots, Already 90-120cm Tall, Ready to Plant Ornamental Evergreen Shrubs, Supplied as a Pair of Cypress Trees for Gardens

My little trees arrived, extremely well-packed on the day after order. They are young and sturdy and exactly as expected. I purchased a pair of these last year, bred by same company and although I was somewhat concerned that they were a bit sparse, can confirm that they have grown on really well over the past few months, both filling out and growing considerably in height. I I transferred them, initially, to larger pots, trimmed them to achieve identical height and shape and added ericaceous fertilizer to the compost. then I just left them, with weekly watering for a few months, during which time they filled out well. In the autumn, I transferred them to open ground, where they are continuing to grow. I would say that they are about1ft taller and 6 inches wider, than when purchased and look very healthy. Because they have done so well. I decided to purchase the smaller size this time and these are very sturdy, so I anticipate a good rate of growth over the coming months. One point to bear in mind is that they do need to be well supported. For some reason, this time I received only 1 stake per 2 plants! It is worth using decent canes and ties to achieve a nice straight growth and resistance to wind. I am delighted with my purchase (6 pairs) and feel that the price of approx. £17.00 per pair represents a great bargain.Highly recommended.

In the ground and doing really well.... Recommend

I ordered 4 pairs of trees to put along the side of our house and on either side of the garage. The trees arrived well packaged 2 to a box and in great condition. I know some reviews have said about the trees being damaged so I count myself lucky that all 8 trees were excellent. They are tall and thin in shape and once potted in a tall slim pot they really do look impressive as the tall pot takes away from the trees looking thin and gives them time to grow over the spring and summer with good compost and feed. I am glad that I took the chance to purchase the trees as they make such a difference to the look at the side of the house which was rather dull. Even the neighbours have commented on how well they look, so looking forwarding to seeing them grow. I have to say they are really good value at £12.50 a tree and free delivery I spent more on the pots just to get the right look so I have to give them a top rating and encourage you to go ahead and order them. A week on from receiving and potting them they are all looking healthy and tall and a good colour so really pleased they are a success.

so.....you buy two Italian Cypress because you went on holiday to Tuscany and fell in love with the landscape pickled in these iconic tall straight pointy trees and decide to get some for your garden at home and the g*t who packed them bent the tops over doubled back on themselves so the trees would fit into a too small for the job packing box! Good grief!! Every time I pass them I try to straighten the tips...but...hasn't made any difference so far. I have this theory that some garden centres are staffed by folks who hate nature and also customers...I mean how much more would it have cost to buy longer packing boxes? 1.4m + the pot they come in needs a 1.8mm long box....surely? They are thriving, which is good, but I guess I will need to get some stanchions when they begin to grow some more to try and train the tops to go straight, or am I just being a pernickity fuss a*se? Probably!

POOR! I DID NOT SEE ANYWHERE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR RETURN POSTAGE! I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT UNSEEN UNLESS I COULD RETURN FOR FREE. PLANTS WERE SMALL, UNHEALTHY (BUT HEAVY - WHICH MEANS HUGE POSTAGE RETURN CHARGE). BUYER BEWARE!

Excellent quality trees thank you.

Arrived on time & planted same day. Several weeks have elapsed & they are all growing at a similar rate. I bought 4 of the trees to place in a dedicated 'bin shielding area', & so far so good. These only grow to a couple of metres, so suit the purpose & won't take up additional space or block light as the time goes forward.

I hadn't expected huge mature trees, but I had expected something a little more substantial than the narrow single green sticks which arrived. In my opinion the description "1.4m trees" is misleading. Yes, they just about reach 1.4m, but tree? Maybe in 10 years. They are so insignificant that once planted they are barely visible being a single narrow stick. I did a good deal of research before buying these, which seemed the largest product for the best price. I was wrong! If you want something that has any kind of impact in the next 5 years I would suggest you look elsewhere.
