Excellent plants
These plants arrived in great shape even though the carrier kept pushing off the delivery date. Nice roots, neither sparse nor rootbound, perfect. They're in the ground now and look fantastic. I will just add that it is wonderful to get boxes from a nursery that are EASY TO OPEN. That doesn't count as a review of the plants, but it's a major perk.
