HW 272 Peach

Beyond a Disappointment

I understand being a small business. But if you ship something in the heat of Summer and it is a fruit tree that is bareroot, then you should make every effort to securely, safely, and with a strong assurance that during the time to transport the tree that it will arrive in great to good condition. Mine arrived leaking fluid, the roots weren't even fully wrapped in a narrow strip of plastic, and the package was leaking! I immediately placed them in 5 gallon pots and kept them moist. One tree budded and started leafing out, and then stopped. The other tree has done nothing, and the branches are getting dry and brittle. But here's the real rub: if you do a BOGO, you are totally out of luck for any guarantee, period. I will never shop this nursery again.

Not peach leaf curl resistant

Although I sprayed this tree 4 times during this past dormant season with a fungicide for peach leaf curl, it is SEVERLY AFFECTED and ALL leaves show peach leaf curl. All of my other peach varieties are only slightly affected
