Has anyone used desert rose for square pots, I have use them for a few years now and they seem rather good.

For me personally , I would give any web site that does not show a registered business address a wide berth.

There should be something soon from Manchester Branch about BEF pots. Definitely a reliable source, even without a business address.

Its illegal not to give a business address on a website but loads miss them off. Sometimes is can be found under 'contact us' but I didn't see anything. If its a sole trader the have to give there name and address and their trading as details. We were given this information by one of the government agencies helping new businesses when we set up our business ten years ago.

Interesting that the only plant available on the site is described as 'succulent plant' and costs £1. Probably best to avoid unless someone wants to buy one and let us know what turns up.

TRUE .... but .... one can only but agree with previous correspondents .... a proper point of contact does create some degree of confidence in a company

Reliable --- most certainly --- one doesn't have to think about that one

Mal has already said he has used them before, I'm sure he was trying to be helpful
I have use them for a few years now and they seem rather good.
