Long shot, but could anyone recommend a nursery in the midlands (I live in south Lincolnshire) where I could actually see the trees I'm going to buy...? Failing that, any recommendations for online tree retailers? Many thanks
Mail order trees are in Soham, Cambs, not such a journey from Lincolnshire. We bought 3 jacquemontii from them about 5 years ago for an extremely good price and they have done very well.
