I believe that the Bali trees that St. Lawrence Nurseries sells are
actually tissue cultured trees as are those that the Canadian nurseries
sell. -- Sam Brungardt

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Bali vs Evans



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.
