"someone is bashing me for something I don't have control over"

For heaven's sake, Dave.

1. I wasn't bashing you. I never even mentioned your name.

2. You very clearly DO have control over whether you offer combined shipping or not. As I've already shown you, it is very easy to cut down substantially on shipping costs when multiple plants are shipped together -- either in the same box, or in individual boxes that are taped together to make a single parcel.

3. As I've mentioned a couple of times already, I didn't even leave you negative or neutral feedback. I left you POSITIVE feedback where it counted most -- on ebay.

Please, get over this. You weren't attacked. Nobody would ever have known I was even referring to  you, except that you CHOSE to jump in.

I also bought some trees from plant creater and had a nice experience and the trees were big and fastened well in the box.   my two cents if anyone else wants to buy from him.    Don't even remember what I paid or what shipping was and don't care.    Just happy to say he has nice material.   I have gotten plants and paid little for shipping and have also paid a lot when they came from far away.   All relative.  Hope nobody throws packing cartons at me.   LOL Joyce 

THANK YOU, Joyce. That's what this thread was supposed to be about. :-)

I agree that Plant creator is a good seller. I have bought a couple things from him with no issues.

You really should have left your review with that information. I dont see the reason to bring up another ebayer. It really takes away from the spirit of what this thread was supposed to be. I would also buy from Dave all day long.

"You really should have left your review with that information. I dont see the reason to bring up another ebayer."

Sigh.

I was making comparisons. I was pointing out another reason why plant-creator has been the cream of the crop for ebay sellers this spring.

Yet again -- I never criticized ANYONE by name. There are many posts here on the F4F forum saying much worse, AND naming names when they do it.

My opinion

STOP IT
There was enough said, trying to get the last word isn't working.  Go back and read Suzi's post.  Take your discussion to email or private message.

We have to maintain some kind of decorum in our posting.  Haven't we learned anything about the results of such arguments?

If anyone wants to discuss it further please contact me through email or private message.

Going no place fast, regurgitated statements, let's move on. Positive fig info is much needed. Good people on both ends, but F4F is the main purpose of the forum.

I agree!

Back on the subject of the plants I received -- given the size and branching of these plants, I'm wondering if they -- or at least one or two of them -- were started as airlayers rather than cuttings. Not that it's essential information, but I'm wondering whether there's a reliable way to tell the difference. For instance -- does leaf size matter? Folks talk about juvenile leaves on cuttings -- well, do air-layered starts have juvenile leaves? For instance, if I make an air-layered start from the very same wood I'd start a cutting from, will the leaves be different depending on which technique I choose?

It is over I just wanted to say one thing this had nothing to do with plant creator he sells great trees and nice varieties , and he bundles LOL 

Vivian I want to apologize for the confusion on the pot color I'm going to send you out a free can of Rusteleum plastic paint  purple of course LOL 

Those 2 varieties are very tough the few that I kept for myself when I removed them from the one gallon pot to put them into a 5 gallon I couldn't believe how many nice thick roots they had as they only in the one gallon for a relatively short time 

I think the credit should go to the fertilizer I was using this year ( Maxigro ) anyway enjoy the trees glad they arrived safely to you 

iS THAT THE MAXIGROW IN THE LITTLE GREEN POUCH? iF SO i HAVE USED THAT BEFORE. rEALLY GOOD STUFF. eVERYTHING IT TOUCHES SEEMS TO GT VERY VERY HEALTHY.

Opps sorry bout the caps.

yes it is
