Thanks for sharing. I am ordering in Sept and was very uncertain about how the sizes would be for 'A' size plants. Nice roots as well. Now I really look forward to Fall.

Sweet mine came too. Great looking plants.

From our last order I found many were very small. I will order from Matt again based on what he has.

Mine were very small and very weak. I'm not impressed, though I am impressed that I got a refund on one of them.

I must say i was a bit disappointed. They're smaller than what I had in mind. But then again its clearly stated that size A has <10 cm LS. I'm happy that hey have good roots though, except for 2. Ill try and ask him if he can do something about it.

I think they look very good, especially for size 'A' plants. Even the two that you say have little roots, I think look fine. Congratulations on your purchase.

Nice purchases! Happy growing!

I am always happy with Matt's order. I haven't been dissapointed with him. Sometimes there are risk on bare root plants but I never had trouble establishing them.

They look like quite healthy size A seedlings (the 2 with minimal roots should do OK if kept warm and humid) that I'd be happy with.
