How To Grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Parsley is related to carrots and celery, and can be affected by the same pests and diseases.Slugs and snails like to eat it, so growing parsley in pots is often a good option, as the plants may be harder for them to reach.
Water regularly during dry spells
Water well in dry spells - after an initial watering when planted, it shouldn't be needed in autumn and winter
Full sun to partial shade
Grows best in a position with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight
Any fertile, well-drained soil
Herb plants prefer well drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting, to improve drainage.
Light feeding
Feed every few weeks with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser such as chicken manure pellets will help to boost leafy growth.

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.
David Osborne
Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
