Nourse is the BEST for any berries and I like Raintree for apples and plums and just ordered from Willis Orchard in Ga this yr. and got some nice trees for the price ($6.95 each) I did have some problems getting the order shipped when I wanted, it took 3 phone calls, but they were curteous and I did get the trees. I will order from them again I have had good luck with Cummins, I have ordered for yrs from Starks but have become very disillusioned with them the last couple of yrs and will not use them again.

berry-nut- with the quantities you ordered, i assume, that is not for personal consumption! do you have any pics of your set up- do you plant your strawberries by hand? how long does it take etc etc

Imred, I'd be cautious about ordered more from Willis again. I placed two orders with them and over half of the trees have died. They replaced them after I shipped back the dead ones, but about half of those died. I've never had anything close to that level of loss from any of my other sources. Hopefully, your trees will fare better than mine. Give Burnt Ridge a try if you want both healthy stock and a low price.

I haven't ordered from Raintree yet, but I'm impressed by their variety. They have so many unusual hard to find edibles. Real huckleberries... or rather... several species called huckleberries by someone and all the ones I was looking for.

I digress. They have a lot of hard to find edible plants and I'm glad to hear good reviews on their service!

Raintree has a great selection (many plants that you can't find elsewhere) and is certainly reputable, but, unless you're ordering rare plants, I'd look elsewhere because they are really expensive for what you get.

Hi lycheeluva,
No, definitely not for personal consumption! My dad wants to start a pick your own berry farm in addition to the farmers market we've been going to. You would laugh to see our strawberry setup this year. We hand planted our strawberries in plastic. First we laid plastic, then burned holes about 4 inches in diameter with a hand torch, and finally used a hand drill with an attachment we use for trapping. Between the 2 of us it took 3 backbreaking days. The funny part about the auger is it looks similar to the "Awesome Auger" that is on that infomercial. Ours works great for making the holes perfect for berries. The day-neutral berries are a trial to see how it works out. Back to good nurseries, our shipment from Hartmann's had 200 plants backordered and they didn't tell us that we wouldn't be getting them and that really caught us short so we're running around trying to get the variety we want. Very disappointed with them for that. Also the rhubarb we got from them burnt to a crisp when we planted them. Need to call them on that tomorrow. Otherwise not to mad at Hartmann's, we've gotten alot of good plants from them
