Funny, Forest Farm sent me a mis-identified tree as well.  It took a couple of years for it to fruit and be ID'd.  Wasn't even the same species.  When I wrote them about it this past summer, they questioned my ability to ID the tree.  I responded with pictures and they checked their stock.  Found out I was correct and said that they would check their "other" stock and replace it.  No word from them for many months now.
