...I had pre-ordered a dozen plants (12-inch roots) in January, and when only 2 showed up in late May (everything else was out of stock) I went to a local nursery and bought 10 18-inch plants in pots about the first week of June.

I hadn't expected any production this year, when I made my initial order in January, so all in all I am happy with the out come so far this year.

Oh and one of the two that arrived by mail died. So from here on out I'm driving to the nursery. My plan is for at least 10 more plants next year in April. I'd like to shoot for 20 more, but that might not be in the budget.
