for all maple tree lovers

Ruan and his team give the best possible service and you won't find the variety or quality of maple trees anywhere else in South Africa. It is such a pleasure dealing with a company that offers the variety,service and personal care that Ruan offers. I just wish i had a bigger garden so i could get one of each of the stunning varieties that are offered. LOL

Better late than never

I must admit to being stressed after no 2-4 day delivery. There were some email follow ups to my constant enquiries, but I was thrilled with the plant, when it arrived.
