My trees have arrived! A slightly bemused-looking young man delivered them this afternoon. Matthew took them round to the patio, and I set to with scissors to liberate them from the industrial quantities of bubblewrap and parcel tape in which they had been mummified for the journey. Result - one rowan about 3 ft tall, one quince about 6 ft tall, and a very substantial silver birch about 7 or 8 ft tall (pretty bark, although it won't be properly white for a couple of years yet). If it stops raining long enough, we will plant them at the weekend.
I am ridiculously pleased about these trees - I have never actually planted one before, and it's so exciting!
