Their manager was in college years ago, there is no way he left to go back to college. I wouldn't claim that ""Alpine's"" products are reliable. After buying Alberta Spruces last year from him they died 3 weeks after planting. Had another garden center specialist come out to the house and found out the shrubs were infested with insects. Bought Albertas from Plochs, 8 months later their thriving and they were CHEAPER.
Was there yesterday, look closely at their plants they're INFESTED with aphids, mealybug eggs, some even have diseases. They put no effort into quality. See for yourselves go there and look for white spots on their plants.
