Free Trees pay p&p T&M

Just had an email with this offer, too big for my garden, might be of interest to others. http://www.thompson-morgan.com/dm22...3_1368546203_0ec892f8082a62b65ea1107b330770fb

 

That seems a better deal than Van Meuwen were doing a few days ago where it was 1p + £3.96 postage for just a similar Magnolia This one - now expired.

Don't forget that if you buy via Topcashback you'll get 12.12% cashback on that £5.60 P&P, and that 69p can be exchanged for 72p's worth of Tesco Clubcard Points, which can be exchanged for (@ 4x) £2.88 in Rewards Vouchers which might make this deal even more attractive.

 

Hmmm ... no indication of what variety that I can see? or the pot size? (if its a 9cm pot it will be ages before the plant makes a decent size ...) and delivery by October 2013 (might be tomorrow of course ... but usually they say if delivery is "immediate"

Dunno about anyone else but I have had Tree Paeonies from these offers before and they have taken years to get to even a small plant. Might be that I haven't loved them enough of course ...

 

I am tempted to buy these too - but agree with Kristen - from experience, special offer plants are generally quite small and need lots of TLC and years to get to a decent size. I have a blueberry bush I bought on offer last year - it arrived with 2 small branches, one of which had snapped almost at the base and the other wasn't doing much. I kept it in the greenhouse over winter and the one branch has leafed up and is growing well.
