without passing any judgment on anybodies specific case,  the realities of small nurseries providing trees of a hundred varieties makes for ample opportunity to end up with some disappointed customers - planning and inventory managment are difficult at best,  handling orders of less than 10 trees of assorted varieties,  expectations of trees the size of the 3 YO potted specimans such as you see at walmart etc etc - no excuse for poor manners or dishonest dealing of course,  but I would suggest we assume the best,  be slow to cast stones or to paint anyone with a broad brush - DOUD
