Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry your order was delayed and the Sea Buckthorn have failed, so thank you for being so understanding and lovely.
Your replacement Hawthorn are on their way to you with DPD and will be delivered tomorrow, Thursday 29th May. I do hope you will be pleased with them and they will complete your hedge.
Hawthorn is a native, deciduous species, so they will lose their leaves in autumn. New leaves appear again in spring and they will eventually produce berries. So extra wildlife should hopefully be coming into your garden soon.
Once again, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused. You have my direct contact details now so if there is anything else I can help with just let me know.
Kind Regards,
Judi, Customer Care
