Bracken Fern
The Bracken fern arrived in good condition, bare root as was intended. I ordered the plant for my daughter. Will plant in spring.

Fern order
My rootings arrived faster than I had expected. Good looking roots. In the ground now and hoping they get to set roots before our winter in a couple months. thanks

Well packed and worth trying
The roots were in good shape and well packed, no issues with shipping and communication. I have planted them and will wait to see what happens. I appreciate the bogo offer which helped me buy several.
