I ordered a Lil Cado avocado just after my burned down house was rebuilt in 2005 in San Bernardino, Ca. and was very pleased with my dealings with Chris...
I did try to contact Chris re the non-setting of fruit on the tree, but was unaware of all the turmoil he was going through.
I too had a sick wife for the last 10 years of her life and until you go through that, you just don't know.....
My wife died in 1996 and it was from acute diabetes.
I am amazed at all the whiners who did not do what I did and go on internet and find his new location.. I am very happy that his life is moving on and I wish him and his new squeeze a very happy prosperous life.
And as the ole Injun usta say, "Until you walk in other guy's moccasins, get a life"
Here it is 2008 and Augusto and I was unaware of all the turmoil the poor guy was going through.....thank gawd that he has a website....
Hi I am writing because I feel my experience with Growquest and the owner Chris has been very different from what a lot of others are posting. I ordered two Lisbon Lemon Trees from Growquest......One was delivered in very bad shape due to the mishandling by the carrier. It had apparently been turned upside down and even with the VERY SECURE packing by Growquest it was broken in two places on the main branches......one branch fell off entirely and the other I patched up as well as I could. I emailed Chris and told him about the damage and I DID NOT request another tree as it was certainly not his fault that the tree was damaged....The tree did survive and looks a little lopsided, but I am sure in time with pruning it will be fine.... Anyway Lo and behold today I received another BEAUTIFUL Lemon Tree Replacement from Chris and I very much appreciate that!!! This is not the actions of a man that is a supposed "crook". He had no obligation to send this replacemant to me. I feel that perhaps a lot of mistakes were made by the company due to growing pains and personal issues, but I see that he is working very hard to rectify past problems.....This is a tough business to be in and he DOES offer great products....perhaps some of the people should lighten up a little on the man....he is after all only human and admits to his mistakes......I wish him only the best and hope he will come back strong and build his company onto the great asset it can be to the gardening world out there. Most of all I would like to remind everyone out there that personal judgement should be left to God...we will all be forgiven as we forgive others....so keep that in mind before you attck people....perhaps judge the business but certainly not the man.... I will definitely use this company again for any trees I may need in the future.Thanks and Happy Gardening to all!!!! Kenneth W. Prosch, Bland, Virgina

I ordered 1000 ladybugs from this business and recieved them a few days after the order. I admit to feeling a little bit of panic when I read these unfavorable reviews (I usually check with dave's G.W.D. before makeing an order with a new company but this time my pest infestation caused need of haste) however my only possible complaint is that I could never get past the answering machine message when I called. The status check on the website works just fine for tracking orders and though I may have been shorted 1 or 2 ladybugs out of the thousand (just a joke, as if any fool would try to count a writhing mass of living insects) there were more than enough to make me feel that I had recieved the service that I asked for.
