I ordered from them last year.  Prices were good for 6 or more trees.  I 
ordered Shenandoah and Bosc pears, 2 Lapin cherry and Contender peach. 
Trees were of very good size.  Bosc started to leaf out but then 
croaked. Others did OK until 8 weeks of drought and assorted hooved 
vermin hammered them.  I rate them as better than OK for a nursery.
