I come back to Blackmoors time and time again because the fruit stock is second to none; the customer service is excellent; the packaging is sturdy; despatch is swift ie a few days rather than weeks. Again, this Pax I have just received is one fine specimen. Thankyou so much everyone at Blackmoors.

It did not take me much to persuade my dad this time to place a second order of a delicious gooseberry! (He was so pleased with the first one) It came in pretty good condition full of leaves and it started flowering a couple days later. I do not however expect anything this year but a pretty good buy.

Bought a 2 year bare root bush in January. This was my first order. It arrived in good condition and it was easy to change delivery dates.

A first order with you, and in fact, the first time ordering gooseberries. The whole delivery system was so prompt and professional. The product was in superb condition, and the planting and care advice extremely comprehensive. Now planted, I await the results.

First time order from Blackmoor Nurseries and very pleased with the quality of the plants and the whole ordering and delivery experience, the plants were very well packed too.

I have used you every winter for the last few years - keep adding to my fruit collection. Had used another fruit producer prior to that and was disappointed with their service. Never been disappointed with blackmoor service or the quality of the fruit trees/bushes.
