I can't tell you how thrilled I am with the tree I bought for my husband's birthday - he was totally gobsmacked, never expected it and it is beautiful! A couple of days of soft Yorkshire rain have started its weathering process and it's already transitioning from silvery grey to a lovely soft gold which will deepen with time to a warm auburn. It looks perfect in situ with a backdrop of beech trees - I could go on endlessly. From beginning to end Hazel couldn't have been more helpful, and Molly her courier (and partner) were amazing - the tree is absolutely stunning and we all love it!!!
