I just now received my first order with two pecan trees and I could not believe how large they were!!!!!! The end of the long box was opened but no matter , you had put a big stong bamboo stalk in to protect my trees! Roots look great.And they were packaged with great care. I had ordered a few plum trees and they look great, for except the chickasaw was broke off at the plant line. That does not matter. When I can order a couple more things i want, I will ask you to replace the little plum bareroot tree. I definitely will start ordering more next spring from this company. What great healthy and good looking trees they are. Thank you!!! Angela Dodge from Malvern. Arkansas
