Tiny

My B52s were very small. Too immature. I’m not sure they are going to make it through any type of dormancy. They are just too tiny to handle.

B-52s VFT

I received my order of 4 VFT, B-52s in good condition. I planted them right away and they are still alive now for 2 weeks. They must still be recovering from bare root to potted because they have no visible new growth. They might have been slightly in the dormmate period. I have then indoors under a grow under Florissant light the present time. I will move them outside in another week or so. It is still warm in my area but should be cold in a few more weeks. I have no complaints with the plant nursery and I hope to shop with them in the future.
