I purchased 50 of Oikos's Dunbar plums this spring since they were mentioned on the list here & it sounded interesting. When I received them they were tiny little twiggy starts with very little roots.I ordered about 2 dozen things from Oikos this spring and that was my experience with everything I received. I was extremely disappointed with the size and quality of the plants (taking into consideration the prices I paid). In addition, several of the tree stems were exceedingly curly and misshapen. Nothing was large enough to plant out anywhere--I put everything into nursery (tree) pots and expect to have to nurse them along for at least a couple or three years before I'm able to plant them in real soil anywhere. Despite TLC this year, I lost several plants immediately and nothing else has put on much growth at all so I'm skeptical that they will make it through the winter--even in my hoophouse. I will never order anything from them again. I'm disappointed because they have many interesting plants that I was looking forward to trying.
