    I ordered a Rowan as well. No idea where I'll plant it and in any case, it hasn't arrived yet! Good to know they are being sent out though.

    It did arrive battered, but will survive. They're delivered in a cardboard poster tube with a hessian bag over the rootball; looks as though they're just going dormant. I've potted up mine to over winter in the greenhouse

    Same here Andy! I've been out in the garden and when I went to the front door, there were two of those tubes sat on the doorstep.

    What am I going to do with two Rowan seedlings? :scratch:

    One looks a bit more alive than the other...

    Plant them either side of the entrance to the house lol! I have no idea what to do with mine either so they're potted up until I decide.

    Yes, same here. I feel they are a little on the small side for planting out immediately!
