It was a great spring: no late frosts and plenty of rain, well, maybe a tad extra rain especially when it didn't stop in June;  nor did it get warm in June;  I think it was late in the month before we had our first 70 degree day;  the plants didn't grow; everything just sat there and then BAM: 100 degrees;  the plants burnt and I wilted. Now in mid July, we in Oregon have sort of leveled off to our normal around 80 degree weather,  and the plants have started growing through the burnt leaves.  I hope this is true all over the country.  

People are asking if we are still shipping and the answer is yes as long as the plant is in a container and as long as the buyer is willing to pay for air shipment which is NOT cheap.  Of course for people in the West we can still ship Fedex Ground which is reasonable, but Midwest and East:  you folks need deep pockets to get your plants now.  

We aren't digging anything from the field until late October  so if that is what you are thinking about,  you need to decide whether the plant can root in before your ground freezes;  if not we will dig your tree and put it in the cooler to keep it dormant  til you are ready in April or early May;  if you want a rare tree it would behoove you to get it ordered now so I don't run out.   

Here's another interesting piece of news.  Since people are always asking if I send planting instructions, I have made 3 videos on planting and one on pruning which are in the Plant Info section,  and they are cuuu uute.   That is it for now.
