Comments regarding kielkowski-szkolka

I bough eight blueberry bushes from this company by mail order.
In the remarks section I wrote that I would like them to fill the package, to make sure plants can't move and branches do not break. Also asked a few other things like labeling and basics like healthy bushes.

On their site they describe their plants as 3 year old and talk about 3 liter pots aswell. I was looking forward to receiving my bushes. Plants came in a huge box, I was very happy to see this and expected some really nice big plants. When I opened the box, my mood was instantly ruined:

- Loose plants with tons of broken branches inside of the box.
- Plants where nowhere near 3 year old.
- Plants where stuffed in small P9 containers.
- Quality of the delivered bushes was incredibly bad.
- When taking the small plants outside of the huge box, I found a dead bush with no roots laying outside of its container.

I have never received a dead bush with no roots from any mail order company I have ever ordered from. This was a first for me, and you can probably understand that I wasn't pleased with this. My heart broke to see such bad care of blueberry bushes.

I immediately took them out of the box. Not exactly a happy experience, most of them where very badly branched and had no sign of life in them whatsoever. I planted them in some quality blueberry soil in way bigger pots.
Many plants where severely root bound, to the point they where going to strangle themselves to death.

I had to really pull these roots to untangle them. But not really a surprise if you put a 3-year-old blueberry bush in a p9 pot. Personally, I don't think any of the bushes will make it. But I just can't let them die like this. From the seven bushes that where not dead on arrival, I really hoped to save atleast a few.

To anyone who thinks to order from this company; please be smart and do not order blueberries. You will regret it.
