Don't Buy From Native Gardeners In Arlington
Native Gardeners sold me two trees that they represented as single, 5 gallon trees, only for them to turn out to be 4-5 tiny trees with their root balls heavily intertwined. To be clear, these were 100% separate little trees. No crotch whatsoever. They were falling apart; connected only by fine roots. I called them and explained the issue the same day I opened the boxes (they day I received the second order and one day after receiving the first), and waited weeks for a callback that never came.
When I called them again, and waited a few hours for another callback, they refused to do anything for me because I hadn't thought to take pics within 24 hours of taking delivery. (Yes, that absurd policy is buried deep in their website, but hey, I wouldn't want to advertise that either, if I where them). And you'd think, if it was absolutely indispensable to have rapid pictures, they would have told me that on the initial phone call, but no - not a word about that until it was too late. It didn't matter that I still had physical possession of the little trees and could have showed them all manner of current images, they only wanted what they knew I couldn't produce. Weird, right?
They were also pretty brazen and patronizing about it, trying to suggest that I had accidentally torn apart multi-trunked trees, (fathom the absurdity of doing that by accident), and so it was actually my fault... or maybe the growers, because they just come that way; definitely not theirs. Basically whatever justification was needed so that I would go away and let them keep my $180.
If you are on the west side of DFW, I recommend EcoBlossom - they've always treated me right.
