I bought a multi stemmed amalanchia and was very pleased to find it. I had it delivered to Leeds, so the total cost to me was about £150. When it arrived, I was disappointed. It had three main stems, but they had not been pruned correctly so they were growing across each other. If I pruned it correctly now, I would only have one stem left. I have had to try to rectify the problem by putting in three linked tree stakes and bending the branches outwards. I can understand that if this was one of the last plants available, it might not be the best. Considering it’s poor form, I think it should have been sold as a second at a discounted price.
