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.
