I have learned the hard way that buying plants,trees,shrubs and flowers at places like Home Depot and Walmart is a really bad idea! We have purchased trees from Skillins in the past and they are thriving! I also recieved a shrub and some rose bushes from Skillins as gifts and they all did excellent.The rose bushes had tons of blooms all summer long.I also purchased a few rose bushes from Home Depot and got two cruddy blooms off one bush and nothing off the other.We've purchased hydrangeas from another nursery and they were also a flop.The Skillins in Bruswick is set up nicely and they even have free classes on different topics.Their trees(and probably shrubs and bushes) came with a one year warranty and detailed instructions on how they should be planted.The only bad thing about Skillins are the prices.However,I'd rather pay a littl more for a plant or tree that is going to do well rather than buy a cheap one and have it do nothing at all or worse-die
