snaglpus Registered: 1244258188 Posts: 4,072	1305682866 Sorry but I am still laughing! Well, it happened to me 5 years ago and guess what I did? I was so happy when I got my trees that I planted them in the ground. Two years later, they fruited and turned out to be all 3 Celeste. Ya gota laugh at it! AND LEARN.
