The ordering and shipping process went well. My plants are very weak, in fact I think 3 of the 5 are dying. They turned red and haven’t grown any at all since the end of June.

This bush is thriving in a lot right now as I decide where it will continue to live. With my limited space it might just stay potted for the next year, hoping it stays happy!

I ordered 6 plants three times

I ordered 6 plants three times. First 6 was too cold. They didn’t make it.

Second set of six I couldn’t keep them alive until I could plant.

Third set of six arrived with two plants yellowed and they didn’t make it.

I’m not going to buy more as I feel I’m wasting my money.

Most of my plants are doing well

Most of my plants are doing well, I lost 7 of the last one shipped.
The were beautiful out of the box, I had the holes prepared and planted them the same day they arrived. I just don’t know what I could be doing wrong. It is very hot here, but I’m watering them early morning and late evening, not in the heat of the day.
If you would be so kind to replace the 7 I’ve lost, I can send photos of them if needed.
Any tips for me, something that might improve what I’m doing. I’m willing to learn
Thank you for your wonderful product and kind service

1 the add and video shows decent size bushes with the idea they are big root nice size bushes. They arrived in an envelope basically with 5 bushes. Probably 2 to 3 years before any amount of berries
Plants have been in ground for 3 months and now half the size as walmart or home depot. Very mis leading for 2.5 times higher in price.

Hopefully they will turn out nice one day.

Pleasant experience

Shipping was quick, price was good, and the bush is actually thriving right away, though planted late. Looking forward to tasting the fruit when the time comes.
