All I can say is do NOT but any expensive trees here. I spent over $1,500 on some, and had them plant them solely for the warranty. Some did well, and the 24" purple leaf plum looked bad - here is the time line:
Planted on 5/15/17, I noticed that the crew only dug a hole large enough to slide the 24" tree in. (I was taught to dig a hole twice as big as the box).
Called on the 22nd to speak to Jessica (since she was the sales person), and was told that she would not be in until Wednesday. Called to speak to Jessica on the 24th, and she told me that I may be over watering.
Went to the nursery on Thursday 5/25. was told to get a piece of rebar and to stick it in the ground - if it went in easily up to two feet that I should refrain from watering for a few days so that the ground could dry out because the tree could not breathe. She told me to bring in a cutting from the tree co that Chuck could take a look at it.
On the 27th I poured a 5 gallon bucket of water in the well because the tree looked worse.
Went in to the Nursery on 5/30 with a cutting from the tree. Chuck said that I needed to be watering with 2, 5-gallon buckets every other day.
Also, spoke to Miguel who informed me that Plum trees are not waranteed, and that it is posted on the tree signs. I went to take a picture of the sign and showed him that there is no mention of a 'non-warranty', and that had I known that I would have made a different selection. The only reason that I had DHS plant the tree was for the warranty. The sales person who was at the counter's response was, "well, WE know that it isn't waranteed". That might be a point to make to the customer BEFORE they purchase.
They said that they could set up a home visit for $100, which I declined since I was led to believe that the trees that I purchased would be waranteed in the first place.
Went home and did the 10 gallon watering as recommended by Chuck.
Tree looks worse on 6/1, will continue with Chuck's watering prescription for a few more days. Continued with the watering schedule until the tree died.
So, now I have a dead tree and no warranty. I will never purchase anything from this place again, and I urge you to go elsewhere.
