Anybody around? lets pay him a visit.
 

Ok, I'm calling BS on junglewild. So you're saying you ordered in fall, and when was the original deliver date? You were under the assumption you would get trees grown for you in a couple months?

I'm curious because I ordered in spring of last year, with a delivery date of spring of this year. I'm wondering how you expected your orders to be filled in less than 6 months?

I don't care if in the long term , James some how mannage to deliver those fig trees (something which seems very unlikely), I think this type of sales shouldn't be allowed here in this forum in the future. Willis did a great thing when he didn't gave James the green light to his sale on the other fig forum. Jon, with this type of sale, this forum lost a lot... Lost a lot of members, a lot of members are beign scammed by James and this forum helped a lot with that (I'm sure that Jon has nothing to do with James Scam), Jon, you probably lost fig sales from James very low prices for future fig trees that he never delivered. Also, this forum has lost credibility and has caused many fights with the members of this forum just because one person, SCAM artist JAMES SPERMAN.
Thanks a lot James for your contribution to this fig hobbie... you have only brought bad things. I just hope that you get what you deserve, no more, no less.

By it's nature, a forum is a place to express good, AND bad.  This forum has offered that.

The forum has not endorsed the SCAM, he has let people be as smart or as ignorant as they wish to be by allowing full discussion.

I stated some time ago that there has been enough and this thread should be locked, but there has already been 2 other threads started so it continues ad nauseum.

Stay tuned for the next episodes of "As the stomach turns", the continuing saga of James and his cheap trees and the hordes of fans and detractors.  Is this a sequel to "Les Miserables" at least the title is fitting.

Looks like the trees are on it's way 😃

I think James is just behind as he tries to figure out shipping. However if he ships them as per the video there will be issues. There appears to be nothing holding them in place. Many will arrive as a jumbled mess. They may not even be identified or still in their cups.

It looks like lots of learning curve still ahead to me. But I think the plants will be shipped at some point.

There are plenty of good videos on YouTube on how to properly ship a fig
tree.

Charles,

Hey man I wasn't taking on behalf of James. I was following his you tube channel and got the notification for two videos. He didn't bother sharing it here so I thought this might be something positive for the people who are waiting for their trees. Sorry about that. 

Cheers,

Is this story was a reason why cuttings so cheep this season- many still believe that we will get our $7 trees?

Vinny,
My comment was NOT about your entry or the videos at all!?! 
It's ONLY about my cringing as the James drama intensifies.
F4F has a series of disgruntled fig enthusiasts who deserve
a reply from James even if it's the one snalpus just shared...or
a reply like: "and if you still believe that you will get a $7.00
tree you'll have to wait." I simply want to hear from spectator
James now that we're at reply #1221!! Do I need to put in an
order to get a response?!?

Wow!  Seriously!  You guys have been waiting 180+ without any update from James?  Yeah, that's extremely terrible.  You guys should not have waited that long.  But you did trust him and that speaks volumes.  I am sorry for your loss!  Now I understand your frustration.  On a more positive side, it would be nice to hear from folks who HAVE received what they've ordered.

But no update or response from Jame is......a response.  In my opinion, if he hasn't fulfilled any orders and communicated with any customers on their status, then he should shut his web site down until he gets caught up.  Sending out one or two pictures here on the forum isn't enough.  He should be responding to every person who ordered on an individual basis.  Again, I feel terrible.  But guys don't blame our administrator, Jon.  This is not his fault.  This is an open community forum.  We're not in Russia so folks can say and do freely including advertise their business.

I did a google search and found out that he is a licensed plant dealer by the Kansas department of agriculture, so I don't know where all the talk of bankruptcy and fraud is coming from.
I do agree that the lack of communication on an individual basis has been missing, but right from the start, he also made it clear that he could not even change an order due to lack of resources and the delays did not help.
Do you honestly expect anyone in his position to respond over here and get into a debate after all this negativity and personal attacks?
As far as the new flood of refund requests after all this wait, people must do whatever works for them.
In the end, I'd say mission accomplished by whomever started this negative campaign.
Finally, I'm amazed at how some negative posters and trouble makers complain about their own posts that make it no fun to be here no more and ask John to do something about it.
Good Luck everyone...

So many of those posting here are wound so tight!  I ordered several trees from Greenfin and I am still waiting happily!
