I ordered 3 trees, two redbuds and all three plants arrived in great shape. Planting instructions were also very helpful.

Love my little tree
I ordered a new Appalachian Red Redbud a while back having ordered trees from New Blooms before. I now have a beautiful companion tree to the little dogwood I planted last year. I wasn't sure how the Redbud would do as it basically had no branches, but after about a week, the buds began to pop and it looks healthy as can be despite its young age. I can't recommend New Blooms more highly - they're responsive, their plants are high-quality, and I absolutely love having a local source for my native plants.
