Service rating : To begin with the service was good, but of late the plants are looking terrible.I probably won't be ordering anything again.
Product rating : Very slow to get going, I know the season is slow this year, but it's hardly showing above the soil; even in the warm place I have it.

Melon Pear

Service
Product

Service rating : I find the plants are quite expensive relative to local garden centres and are not nearly as good a quality. Why buy something which you haven't examined and pay a lot more for it ? I object also to the horrible 'free' gifts and constant barrage of competition mail. I have had enough and will shop locally from now on.
Product rating : The plants, as usual looked as though they had barely survived a hurricane when they arrived. Of the three plants, one is Ok, one is on life support and the last one is terminal. Whether they will ever grow on to produce fruit is, at best, doubtful. They are so small that it will probably be about 5 years before they will be mature enough to bear fruit anyway.

Service rating : Although I order from Baker Ireland It appears that the plants do not ship from Ireland and as a result there is a considerable delay before plants are receiuved.
Product rating : Due I presume to shipping time some of the plants were in a bad state when received. These plants have subsequwntly died.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your feedback.
Our nurseries are based in Holland but the plants are delivered as quickly as possible and shouldn't suffer as a result. I was very sorry to hear that some of your plants had arrived in a poor condition though and therefore I will ask one of our customer service advisors to contact you so we can resolve this for you.

Service rating : Bakker website easy to follow and comprehensive
Product rating : they seem to be in good order and have been planted in a large hanging basket. I am keeping them in my green house until the threat of frost and over watering from excessive rain has passed. They did not do well last year which I attribute to the very poor weather.

Service rating : Generally speaking my deliveries from Bakker have been quite good but my last order was dreadful to say the least.
Product rating : Super Blueberry ???? I received 2 miserable specimens of plants -- approx. 7 ins tall, with 2 spindly branches on each. I did email Bakker who sent an apology & full refund of my €30.60. Since then, I have bought 2 replacement Blueberry plants in Lidl costing €5.99 each. The plants are 15 to 18 ins tall, multi branched, strong, healthy & sturdy costing, in total €11.98, which is €18.62 cheaper then Bakker.
