I thought I was getting a good deal with these trees.  I knew they'd be small but having a degree in Environmental Science and running the landscaping department at a lard resort to include managing an orchard I am familiar with starting trees from bare roots and its advantages.  I am also very familiar with all aspects of tree care with years of experience.

 

When I looked them up I found nothing bad about them online.  This is because I believe the Connecticut address is a front for their original company which is Summerstone Nursery which is no longer in business and has MANY complaints on google, with the BBB, etc. 

 

The return address on my package matched the one on the website.  However my tracking number for my package indicated it shipped from McMinnville TN which is where Summerstone was located. 

 

I ordered 7 fruit trees.  of the 7 4 arrived in bad condition and stone dead.  I hoped they were dormant and planted them anyway but they are dead.  They all came in smaller than I ordered.  The free trees were all dead.

 

I paid 105$ for a box of dead sticks and 3 crappy fruit trees smaller than I ordered of which 1 is growing okay. 

 

I don't have a ton of money as I just bought my house last year and have my first son due in August.  I wanted to start some fruit trees on my property and this company took my money and sold me garbage under fraudulent misrepresentation to avoid their bad reviews from the previous company.

 

Furthermore shortly after I made my purchase my credit card info was stolen and I had to close that account and transfer the balance(- the fraudulent charges) to a new card, meaning it would be a pain to dig up the old info to dispute the charges and get my money back.

 

Do not give these people your money, you will regret it.
