such an exciting day.. I bought three wild lemon trees from a seller in central arkansas and all three survived outside all winter! they started growing leaves yesterday apperently plus all my other fruit trees have buds and are in the process of flowering. Now the weather man tells me its going to frost .. two morning in a row. Good news most of them are in pots, bad news is I have to carry about 25( I thought I only had like 15 lol) 10 gallon pots! lololol its raining now they are going to be heavy tooo good day . I guess i will have to cover the strawberry beds too they already have fruits starting I would hate to loose them

anybody have any almond bushes or know a good place to get a couple? I have three that I bought from an ebay seller and now i'm questioning if they are almond plants at all.. I need a new source for fruit trees and shrubs anyway, I have all the cherry trees commonly available in my area and want more lol

What makes you think they aren't almonds?

I ordered the same plant from them twice and the second set has completely different leaves and starting budding about 2 weeks earlier// the first had glossy leaves that look like a regular cherry tree and the second set has almost fuzzy leaves/ kinda wide. I also have nanking cherry plants and thats what i think the second set of almond plants are . they said the rootstock was different.. pfffft no that wouldnt make a plants leaves change like that


I kinda doubt either one of them is an almond now// the leaves of the first plant they sent me match the leaves of the plant in the picture they have but the color of the flowers is not right at all// the picture has bright pink flowers and what I have has stark white flowers

I have gotten plants from them for a couple years and have always been happy but now I'm worried some of my plants arnt what I think they are :-/


one of my new nanking cherry plants is defff not a nanking but it does look to be some kind of a cherry... I'm glad things are sprouting I just wish I was positive I was growing what I want to grow and not just what was sent to me
