Burnt Ridge quality is really going down. I've lost so many things from there it is quite sad. They send tiny plants that struggle to survive. Sold me an aspen that was supposed to be "dormant in their cooler", but it was shipped to me in full leaf, and of course suffered considerable shock. What leaves were present were had black spots, and soon all leaves dropped and the tree turned black from top down. The customer service also gave me a hard time over refund/replacements even with me providing photos of another tree I had ordered that was DOA. Michael used to answer my emails, but now it feels like someone else is running the show and it's not for the better. For your sake I hope that little monkey puzzle kicks in the grows considering where it is from. Most things from BR take exceptionally long to establish in my Ohio garden.

That's disappointing 😞
