I just talked to Burnt Ridge today and put in an order, they are short 
handed this year and are trying to hire additional people, they have lost 
some people or the they are getting more orders than usual. I will take a 
little wait for prices that are about 60% of most, and I always ask about 
the sizes when I call, that way no suprises.
I have also ordered from Bay Laurel  they had to cancel my order because 
they did not have the plant I ordered or did not get it in. I was supposed 
to be put on a list to get the next plant and have not heard from them 
(about a year now).
So the thing here is that all the nurseries have problems sometimes, just so 
it does not happen too often then I will quit buying from them.
