I barely have anything to contribute to this thread, though I have enjoyed
following it.  I bought a Bali (Evans) from SLN this past spring and it
never established.  It pushed forth a couple leaves, which wilted within a
couple weeks and the plant declined quickly from there.  I have not removed
the plant hoping that there was a possibility of a root sucker (as I chose
Bali because of its propensity to sucker) coming forth and replacing the
dead tree.  Nothing yet, I'm sorry to say.

I emailed the nursery twice, once when the plant was in serious decline
(within 2 weeks of planting) and once after it was obviously showing no
signs of list (above ground at least).  I have yet to hear a reply on either
contact.  I had checked the watchdog rating of SLN before having ordered and
the nursery has good ratings, but my experience has not been positive at
this point.   (I think I should ask a question so this post has a point)  

Anyone think this Bali has a chance of throwing a root shoot or am I more
likely to have to pull the remains and try again?

Also, has anyone left a negative feedback on Gardenwatchdog.com and at what
point did you do so?  I don't want to affect the rating of a company for
which I've heard such good things, but my own experience has been
disappointing.
