I am so sad

I am so sad. I bought 3 berry bushes in 3 gallon size. On other website 3 gallon size would be around 3-4 tall, fruit bearing size, what i received is barely over 1 foot. I dont know when it will ever fruit. So sad.

I read the company's response and I am not convinced by their explanation. I do not believe a bigger bush can possibly have weaker root. It's more likely they put a smaller bush inside bigger container to sell it for more. They don't respond to my concerns. I will bring this up to bbb and state attorney.

Hi Kit,
I’m so sorry to hear that you are not happy with your order. Please send in some photos to support@plantingtree.com so that we can help you. I saw some of the blueberry bushes we sent out this week and they were amazing. We will follow up with you on Monday if we don’t receive the photos.
Thanks
Tony

HI Bibi,
Thank you for sending in the photos.
In one of the photos you sent the blueberry bush is dormant. The second photo is a different variety coming out of its dormant stage.
We specified both these on our web site as a "3 gallon" blueberry bush. We do not specify the height because they vary based on season. Usually in July they are 3-4 feet tall. Yours will also be 3-4 feet tall by then with blueberries on them.
Most of our blueberry bushes are pruned back during the winter months to provide strength and health for the plant. Which makes them full and strong. Other companies may sell a 3-4' blueberry but it may be in a one gallon with a weak root system.
We only guarantee height sizes on our trees because we are stating those sizes on the product pages.
We would be more than happy to guarantee these blueberry bushes for you. But they are a full 3 gallon size and are ready to start flushing out and growing as temperatures warm up this spring.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Tony

The purchasing was easy

The purchasing was easy, shipping was fast, packaging was excellent. I haven't planted the seed yet, so I can't comment on the product.

Very happy with my new tree

Very happy with my new tree. Well packaged. My only complaint is that the shipping service, Fed Ex, paid no attention to the special delivery comments of where to leave the package, and it is a miracle my neighbor saw it before it was stolen.

Highly Recommended!

Experience so far has been awesome - Bare Tree/Branches, Soil Mix and Fertilizer all arrived promptly and well packaged. I planted the tree within an hour of its arrival, following the enclosed instructions meticulously. Only a week later, small multiple bud clusters are beginning to blossom from the lower and middle branches closest to the trunk, so it appears as if the tree is already coming out of hibernation. Since this tree was purchased as a memorial to honor the very recent passing of our loyal, 17 year old family dog, I am hoping beyond belief that this tree continues to flourish. Fingers crossed & many thanks to PlantingTree.com!

This on-line garden center is a rip off…

This on-line garden center is a rip off and is a joke. I ordered a tree and paid over 160.00. They sent me a tree that they seemed to pick out of the woods. It was way to small for what I paid. DO NOT purchase any trees or plants from their on-line website. The pictures they show are not what you will get delivered in a big box to your home
