I got mine in just when they said! I’m following the directions and everything should go well. Can’t wait to see my berries!
Stacey A. (Verified Customer) –
Came packaged nicely and as described. In the package they also included detail instructions on how to plant and care for it.
James (Verified Customer) –
Bare roots arrived in excellent condition and were intact and strong looking. Roots were soaked for a few hours per the instructions and planted the same day. After a couple weeks, the leaves are already popping out! I recommend preparing your holes prior to the arrival of your bare roots so that it’s not overwhelming receiving, soaking, digging and planting in one day. I cant wait for these raspberries to fruit!
