I placed two orders with Summerstone Nursery.
Then I found "Dave's Garden" and all the bad reviews.
All but one of the trees that I ordered are growing great.
The one tree that has not made it yet was munched on by gophers.
All trees showed new growth inside 7 days.
Sorry folks, but I am impressed with the items I just got from Summerstone. i bought 7 grape varities, raspberries, gooseberries, boysenberries, and black berries. All have EXTENSIVE root systems and came wrapped in wet newspaper with a gelaton to help retain moisture, then wrapped in a good layer of plastic. I was VERY nervouse last night after reading all your negative posts but was very happy when I opened the package today. Total time from order to delivery was just over 2 weeks and I DID NOT request the 72 hour schedule so many of you have had problems with. Maybe I just got lucky, but I give a big POSITIVE
My order arrived in just 6 days! I expected the plants to be dormant since that is the ideal way to plant in the spring. On two items they sent more than I ordered - an extra wineberry and instead of 1 dewberry they sent me 4! The blueberry plants, while small, have wonderful root systems.
I am already busy placing another order.
I ordered Sparkle and Surecrop strawberry plants from Summerstone nursery....
I just set them out today...They are the best looking strawberry plants I have ever seen...They are ALIVE and have big, healthy root systems (which was a surprise to me, after receiving some strawberry plants earlier from another nursery that were dried out and brown with a scrawny root system...I wound up losing over half of them)
If I lose any of these magnificent plants, it will be my fault....
If you want good, healthy strawberry plants, I recommend Summerstone nursery....
