Have just received my order and must commend you: the tree doesn’t have a single “sick” leaf on it; it’s healthy,
full of vibrant green leaves, and bigger than I expected. Stellar packing as well. Thank you.———————————–WBG Reply: Hi Joyce, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

The tree arrived fast and in very good condition. It only has 3 catkins and no leaves so far, but I assume that is normal during winter. I know this Contorted Filbert isn’t recommended for my region, but I’ll try my best to make it grow. I’m from Germany where these beautiful trees are very common, so I just couldn’t resist and thought I’ll give it a try.—————————————WBG Reply: Hi Jen, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick.

So far, so good. Plant arrived very quickly. There were some brown leaves but it looks quite healthy overall. I’ll know better in the spring. Happily, we’ve been having plenty of rain, so the newly planted tree is getting well hydrated. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Margaret – Thanks so much for your review of the Harry Lauder Walking Stick and we hope you enjoy as much as we do the ones in our gardens for years to come. Sorry some of the leaves turned brown during transit. Plants with large leaves sometimes do this during summer. After planting some new leaves should emerge, unless it’s already starting to get cold up there? If so, it’ll go dormant and should leaf out fine in spring. Keep as posted as we stand behind every plant we ship. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

Very pleased with this purchase, though I suppose time will tell. I was heartbroken when my old HL walking stick died (after 20+ years), and eager to get a new one started. The new walking stick arrived less than a week after purchase in excellent condition. It was about 2 feet high with plenty of healthy growth. And price was roughly the same as what other garden sites were charging for bare root. ———————- WBG Reply: Hi Mark – Sorry to hear about the loss of your 20 year old Henry Lauder Walking Stick.

I ordered a contorted filbert from Wilson Bros and had it shipped to Wisconsin. Per the note included in the box, this is where I could report problems. I don’t have any! Pass this on to the team that gets the praise. The tree I received is WAY better than I expected or could have hoped for. It is big, beautiful and healthy! Taller than I expected. All leafed out. Just spectacular. I can’t wait to plant it and watch it mature in to a wonderful specimen tree. ———————- WBG Reply: Hi Donald – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Harry Lauder Walking Stick and for your praise. It makes everything we do even more worth the while! I absolutely love the 10 year old Harry Lauder specimen in my own landscape…a magnificent specimen! Hope you enjoy yours for years to come.

A robust and thriving bush in a 3 gal pot was shipped to my daughter in WS. Wilson Brother’s packaging of this bush protected it completely from the the horrible abuse it received at the hands of UPS. The box was bashed and badly damaged and yet this healthy little bush emerged unharmed. Customer service at Wilson Brother’s is outstanding. Annie was efficient, knowledgeable and utterly charming. Probably the best internet shopping experience I have ever had. I will most certainly shop here often and recommend all my friends and family do the same. Thank you Wilson Brother’s!!! ——————– WBG Reply: Hi Karen – Such a nice an unusual gift to give your daughter! Hope she enjoys the Harry Lauder Walking Stick for years to come. Thanks so much for your review and all the compliments. It makes everything we do even more worth the while. It was certainly our pleasure to serve you. Thanks also for the feedback about the damage to the box during shipping. Our damage rate to boxes is probably about 5% and less than 1% on plants. Even so, we’re in the process right now of custom designing new and sturdier boxes that will stand up better to mishandling by the carriers, which is totally out of our control. Fortunately, when plants are damaged due to mishandling the carriers maintain insurance that allows us to immediately replace damaged plants, but we’d rather do what we can to avoid damages in the first place!
