For years I've searched for Viburnum acerfolium and was happy to find that species on the Mail Order Natives website. Mail Order Natives had gotten good reviews on Dave's Garden, and I too had a good experience with the company. Emily was great to work with when periods of wintry weather prompted me to request a change in the shipping plans, and the plants arrived in good condition, well packed and looking healthy. I plan to order from Mail Order Natives again.
my most trusted online source for plants! As always arrived well packaged, and healthy and robust! I've ordered fir years and every single plant has grown well when planted and still going g strong.
Such nice people to work with and how great to find the perfect Juglone friendly, bird friendly, shade friendly flowering bush!
I ordered two of these plants to supplement the Viburnum dentatum purchased at the same time. They form under plantings to a woodland natives garden I'm establishing. The plants arrived in excellent shape, carefully packed, and they appear to be thriving now with little buds visible on all. I was delighted with the care and attentiveness shown by the seller. The plants were treated as living things not merely marketable goods and their response to planting suggests they will thrive.
Arrived in good condition with leaves that have stayed for several weeks now after being a bit limp on arrival. A little smaller than expected. I mail ordered little shrubs from 7 businesses this year and this order was one of the top two for packing. Sprayed right away with deer/rabbit repellent as this species got chomped the last time I ordered (from elsewhere).
Ordered three, all came quickly and in excellent condition
I ordered the plant in late October. When the Viburnum arrived it was about 2ft tall, single trunk with healthy leaves and lots of buds. The rootball looked very healthy. The plant was larger than I expected for the price. It went straight into the ground. Two weeks later it still looks great! Looking forward to the spring. One of the best packing and shipping jobs I've ever seen from a mail order nursery!
The Viburnum arrived in great shape, with a full root ball and no sign of dehydration. I transferred it to a pot and fully watered it right away as it would not go in the ground for several days. It is in its home now and is a happy plant. I am delighted that these natives are available in root ball as opposed to bare root form. I've had mixed results with bare root, many arriving so dehydrated it was hard to recover them.
Mine were about 14-16" with strong sturdy growth and were well rooted in the pot. MON did a nice job packing them for shipment even though it was warmer than usual.
