I am very much grateful for your answer to my previous question and for the useful information you provided.

There is also an opinion that it is better not to replant magnolia trees from one place to the other. Because if the roots are damaged it won’t survive. What is your opinion and knowledge about this?

How do you best ripen them at home?
If you wait as you do with other pairs till they give slightly around the neck, they will be rotten in the middle. Almost all other pears ripen in that way these do not.. our vendor gives no information about how to ripen them.

How massive is the root of this magnolia when it is mature?

I have a 100 foot space along my driveway where I planted Magnolia Judy Zuck then 2 Red Laceleaf Japanese maples in between each tree. It is a magnificent sight in the Spring with the red leaf maples new growth and the bright yellow flowers above. I have never had any insect or disease problem with them. I live 65 miles northwest of San Francisco.

Like all the 20+ trees and shrubs I’ve bought from Bower and Branch over the years, my Niobe Willow arrived in excellent condition, very healthy and lush, and even larger than I’d ordered or expected. In just the first year it filled out nicely and after two full growing seasons has nearly doubled in size - both width and height. I keep it watered deeply 2x a week and mulched a 10’ circle around the base which has helped develop an extensive root system. My only (big) mistake was not protecting the truck over the winter, so the deer did some damage scratching with their antlers but thankfully it was not extensive and so far hasn’t effected the overall health or growth of the tree.

Arrived just as described. Looks great. Bigger than I expected.

Delivered with obvious care, the tree arrived healthy and is thriving.

A beautiful, tall healthy tree, far bigger than I anticipated. Looking forward to next spring!

Plants arrived very promptly to my home in CT. The “small” size is 3 gallon buckets and well worth the price. I Planted all 65 trees within a week of delivery. I roughed up the roots with a little garden hand tool rake and also mixed my sandy soil about 50 50 with compost. I’ve watered every day for a couple weeks and Will probably continue to do so throughout the summer. I have no doubt that these trees will withstand the summer and will take off like rockets next spring. Will write another review at a later date!

Our London Planetree arrived healthy and is settling in nicely. The communication about the delivery was prompt and accurate. I would definitely order again. Good plants and good customer service.

The two men who planted our tree were courteous, professional, and tidy. They were very knowledgeable and shared a lot of tips for keeping our tree healthy and growing.

I received these beautiful hydrangeas last week. They came soooo well packaged. I was amazed. Not a broken branch or falling leaf. I could see how much care was put into the packaging & shipping. Very pleased with this purchase.

Our Willow arrived healthy and arrived earlier than expected. Bower and Branch answered all my queries with no hesitation. I would highly recommend them.

Thanks

We’ve been struggling with the raspberry bush with brown spots. Treated it with a combination of water, dish soap and baking soda. I haven’t seen any raspberries yet.
