patsy, thanks for the info.  I called them and was told it is standard 
practice to get roots to fit in the box.  I then asked about their guarantee 
and was told they have to be notified by June 1.  I live in Nebraska and 
would not even plant until probably April, heat does get bad till July and 
August so I cancelled my order.  maybe over cautious but most nurseries 
guarentee the first growing season not just 2 months .  Thank you for the 
heads up.

Subject: Re: [nafex] 1. Re: dreadfully chopped off roots on my Bay Laurel 
Nursery trees
  
Hi and thank you all who responded about the roots on my trees and also w/
ideas on how to save them.  Bay Laurel Nursery responded when I emailed
them and stated that it was the growers that send them that way, so not Bay
Laurel's fault.  I'm not entirely convinced of the accuracy of that.  I
believe these were Dave Wilson Nursery trees, supposed to be top quality.
I am hoping anyway that they have the right conditions to get some root
growth going before they try to grow on top.  They'll have to get a move
on, though, since my established peach and cherry trees are getting big
buds!
