FYI, I bought four plums from St. Lawrence Nursery, and two of them 
didn't survive. (I don't know why. They looked fine.) They sent me 
replacements this past spring that looked even better than the first 
trees, really nice. I had to pay shipping is all, and these did survive.

Despite being such a beginner at this, I've been surprised at how few 
things I've lost. But I also bought a mulberry from ForestFarm, and when 
it never broke dormancy, they sent me a replacement without question (no 
shipping cost, either). I also bought a clove currant from them - a huge 
plant that looked really nice and grew like crazy. Unfortunately, about 
a year later, I realized it wasn't really a clove currant. We eventually 
identified it as something that they had right next to the clove 
currants (I can't remember now, but it wasn't a fruiting bush), and they 
sent me a replacement for that, too. No problem.

No complaints here, and I like to give credit where credit's due.

Bill
