Having previously bought large shrubs (camellia, silverberry) from Grasslands which were absolutely excellent I ordered a Euonymus japonicus Aureus Ball, 70 Litre Pot. On delivery I immediately noticed insect damage to the leaves. After complaining I was told that "...all our stock outside has some form of insect damage.....this will not have an effect on the plant's health". I was also told that new shoots coming through would not have this damage. In fairness I was offered the opportunity to return the plant (at my own expense). Unfortunately, I was away on holiday by that time and didn't do so. On my return the insect damage had already increased substantially and the young shoots on the inside are as badly effected as the mature leaves. The whole plant has leaves half eaten away and is beginning to look quite unsightly . Grasslands told me that nurseries have been encouraged by government to cut down on pesticides but I wish that they could at least offer some advice on how to counteract the infestation by natural means or perhaps more 'eco-friendly' pesticides. Very disappointing from such an otherwise good company.
