Unfortunately, although Oregon's number one product is nursery plants, this one wasn't to be found. I ordered from Wilson Bros. in Georgia. The plant arrived in perfect condition. The packing was so well done that even though my housemate (and probably others) laid it on its side, it looked great when I opened the box. The roots looked very healthy - not pot-bound, not immature. ------------ WBG Reply: Hi Susan - Thanks so much for the review and sharing your experience with us and future visitors to Wilson Bros Gardens.
