For the record I have ordered from Jewels twice. First time I bought a plant. When it arrived it was not what I paid for. I liked the plant and asked her to identify it thru a pic I sent her when it was in bloom. I never got another responce even after 4 more e-mails. SEcond time I ordered Chinese Elm none of which sprouted.

I bought from seedrack (not bonsai) some pawlonias. which are supposedly the worlds fastest growing tree. When they sprouted within a couple days of planting I was overjoyed. They got about 1 1/2 inches tall and bloomed. I knew this could not be what I ordered so I e-mailed them as well. They assured me that what I was describing did not come from them as they didn't sell anything like it.

I have bought from Dukes on ebay as well. Not a one of the trident maples came up. All of the seeds were handled as they were supposed to be after I recieved them.

Sorry guys not trying to sound negative but I have not had good success from seed from the internet. Maybe some of you guys know the inside secret to getting them to sprout. I have asked on this forum before but haven't gotten anything useful.

I will probably be a sucker and order again. There are varieties that just aren't available any other way where I live. No nurseries are close to me In South Georgia.
