We purchased a large, expensive tree from Discount Tree. When it came, it didn't seem to be in very good shape, but they said, ""give it time"". It died - we called and they said, ""give it until next year"". The next spring, It died. At least 10 calls and 3 trips to the place of business, they finally said they would replace the tree late in the fall. Second tree, spring came, it died. Many, many calls later, never reaching the owner, leaving numerous messages - all were unreturned. Another trip, no owner available, but assured he would call. He didn't. Finally, caught him on the phone and he said, absolutely no replacement or money returned. So we have a dead tree and we shall warn anyone - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN - if you get a bad tree, he will not stand behind his merchandise. Go to a big box store - you'll get a better tree and they will refund your money if it dies. Added note - we did not do anything to this tree. We got another at the same time, and it is doing very well.
