Very happy with "Raintree Nursery". I have purchased several fruit trees from them and they have always arrived in great condition and after planting, took right off. I will continue using "Raintree".

Super healthy, branches are recovering from the hard pruning they had before they left. No flowering this year (wasn’t expecting it, but 2 others planted the same day did flower)
