[NAFEX] Bali vs Evans

I bought one time from SLN years ago, 15 trees, all were so poorly uprooted and poorly
packed (dried out) I simply never went back. Many of the trees died. I figured that if
whoever runs the place didn't care enough to train the employees that that was all I
needed to know. Buying from Fedco, another hardy tree supplier,  was exactly the opposite
- trees with great roots, very well packed, educated caring staff.
