Oak trees
Bought 20 quercus Rubra Oak trees off Clarenbridge garden Centre in youghal on 24th of November which we're delivered about ten days later.
The trees were very poor quality compared to trees I've purchased from this company in the past couple of years, they appeared to be grown in very poor ground stunted growth, trees were crooked not property trained or looked after and the unfortunate part is I'll have replace at least half of them at my own expense.
I did e-mail the owner but got no response, and it appears that the trees are not property vetted or inspected before being sent out.

nasty staff member screamed at me while I was crying
Ive been coming here since I can remember and it was a favourite place of my late sister, so when it came to getting plants and a tree for my beloved dogs grave, there was nowhere else I would want to go, however, thanks to a lady whos name begins with 'n' who works there, I would rather drink sick out of a sock. I was choosing some cyclamen for my dog, and she came over, snatching the plant out of my basket and chastising me like a naughty child in a vile tone. The way she was grabbing at the plant and snatching , and her manner was despicable rude and when I retaliated, she shouted at me, even though I was crying. What should have been a special moment was wrecked by this foul, rude woman. She shouldn't be working with the public. It's a shame because N has ruined what was a lovely garden centre. I endeavour to tell everyone about this horrible woman!
Edit to add- i posted a similar review to this on social media and instead of them taking accountability and apologising profusely, they blocked me and deleted the review.

Dropped into Clarenbridge garden centre on the way home from Cork. Magda was extremely helpful and informative of all the plants we purchased. We even managed to buy a plant we've been looking for a number of years and was unable to source in other garden centres...Magda managed to find us two, which we thrilled about. Looking forward to our next trip down to your beautiful garden centre again!!!!
Clarenbridge is a beautiful place to stop on the way from Cork to Waterford. The food is delicious with a modern eclectic menu and the whole place has a very earthy / artsy feel. Even worth a visit as a day trip all of its own.
