[QUOTE="Pokem807, post: 2511704, member: 7378"] I've been very happy so far. About three years ago, I ordered 2 apple and 2 plum trees from them...bear in mind that this was my first attempt at planting fruit trees. I planted them in my chicken pen, which is about 50'x50', and they grew really well all through a brutal summer. At the end of the summer, with no warning, all four of them kicked the bucket. I spoke with Stark Bros. and that winter they replaced all four trees. I planted those in early '12, along with a peach tree which a neighbor gave me and a nectarine I ordered from Stark. Last year I got my first peaches and nectarines. The peaches were great, but the nectarines were amazing. When I received the trees from Stark they were all bare-root, and looked like little broom handles sticking out of the ground about 3' when I planted them. Now they're all 10-12' and growing like crazy. The peach and nectarine are loaded, and I got my first apple blossoms this spring. I don't spray at all, so I'm curious to see what kind of harvest I get this year. Putting them in the chicken pen has worked out beautifully. The trees get plenty of fertilizer and the chickens get some shade and help control a lot of the insects. [/QUOTE]
