After ordering i did a yahoo search for Summerstone and garden watchdog popped up with a whole bunch of negative rep. and reviews for this place. I have to say that I'm more than a little nervous about my order. My wife and i work hard for our money and cant afford to be taken by a bogus mail order nursery. I wish i would have seen all the neg. reviews before i ordered. I guess all i can do is wait and hope for the best. It's very sad that you have to watch your back ordering trees. The only thing that keeps me hopeful is that people seldom take the time to write positive reviews, and I'm sure that Summerstone does a lot of business offering the prices that they do. I will be sure to post my experience after my order arrives, and let everyone know how things went so that there is a recent review. Hopefully waiting, Eric I recently ordered numerous trees from Summerstone. $140.00 worth.

I can't defend how they handle problems that arise with shipped live plants... and I can't think of a policy that would keep everyone happy when things go wrong. I'm pleased with the trees I received, but maybe I got lucky. In any case, I'll continue to encourage the home kitchen gardener: BUY LOCALLY unless that's not an option.

I am on a tight garden budget and I usually order from Michigan Bulb with absolutely No Complaints. Their plants are beautiful and guarenteed FOR LIFE. Summerstone sends dead plants.. you pay to send them back...and they won't reimburse you because the plants were dead when they received them. DA-AH Stay away from Summerstone ...PLEEEEZE.
