I am about to offer some things on the LA
but these negative feedbacks concern me.
In the north, no way can we compete with hunky fans from mid states or southern states.
In the north, if you buy southern hunky fans, they need to adjust to the northern climate and can be set back a year.
Do you all take that into consideration?
For instance -
A cleaned UF or spider DIP will have rather small fans.
A DIP usually has smaller fans than a TET
Some people (me) have a later growing season than others even in the same zone
Therefore Zones don't count.
I always ship good root systems and as nice a plant/mini clump that I can. But - I believe in spring plants arriving with better bottoms than tops. Let them grow in your area.
What say you on these questions?
