Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream' in 10.5cm Pot, Japanese Maple Trees for UK Gardens, Perfect in Large Pots or in The Ground, Ready to Plant Out

I am writing this review because I have received a healthy and well grown acer. Husband ordered this plant but didn't read the reviews; I read the reviews and was apprehensive as to what we would receive. Well .... good news .... the plant is well grown and healthy ... exactly as described .... excellent value for money.

Arrived safely. Thank you

Arrived well packaged, healthy, large and bushy Acer. Also bought another variety from the same company at the same time, which was a small, pathetic, weedy specimen, with shrivelled leaves and broken stems. I can only say that you can’t guarantee the quality of this company.

I’m wary of buying plants online, but wanting to increase my stock of acers, took a chance on this. It was actually one of two, the other being from a different supplier. They both arrived in October so obviously weren’t in leaf, but I cared for it and all my others over winter. (I have around nine, the oldest one for almost 30 years so I’m no novice). We are now in late April and all my other plants are in full leaf, but as you can see from the photo, this one is dead. I’ve tried Amazon’s refund service but the online option won’t work as apparently this purchase, of six months ago, is too old. Really? What happened to the Sales of Goods Act? And why isn’t this extended for plants that are dormant in winter so you have no way of knowing if they are defective or not until much later? The only option is to return it - and who is going to do that for a hefty plant? I’m really annoyed; I bought these in my mum’s memory, and it’s money down the drain. I certainly won’t bother again.

Seems to be growing really well.

Nice plant, but I'd advise to pay for 10.5. As the one I received looked like it had been freshly placed in 3L tub before posting. Roots were none existent, soil in pot was fresh & went everywhere in transit ( showing a more compact root from previous small pot) & looked like the 10.5 in size by the pictures. So I believe I've been conned £10 🙈

Nice healthy plant

Plant received in good time. Now the problems, plant in a 30cm pot, but looks like very recent pot up from 9cm with a bit of compost chucked in. With reference to transport this was not good. Transport by evri. Item received with severe damage to box around top of pot area. When opened plant was damaged three stems broken and soil missing from pot. Now planted out watered and fed,in a suitable position.waiting for the dream to recover fingers crossed.
